Alfredo Sacsa
With an artist’s touch, Alfredo Sacsa adds the fine details to the painted wood accent furniture he designs and creates in his home workshop, located in the outskirts of Lima, Peru. Using local wood and his carpentry skills, Alfredo transforms raw lumber into attractive accent pieces for your home.
Alfredo and his wife, Isabel, create quality, painted wood furniture and home accent pieces for Ten Thousand Villages artisan partner Manos Amigas, based in Lima, Peru. Alfredo’s connection with Manos Amigas, aptly named “hands joined in friendship,” gives him access to the international marketplace and a guarantee of prompt payment and fair prices for his work.
Alfredo’s skill and determination to build his business and provide for his wife and five children means positive changes in their daily lives. Recent improvements to their home and workshop include a new room, concrete floors, a new roof and running water.
