GIVING BACK

CILSA (Inclusion Center and Solidary of Argentina) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) with a welfare purpose, established on 14 May of 1966, in Santa Fe, Argentina.

The main purpose of this organization is to promote full inclusion of people from marginalized sectors of society, such as socially vulnerable children, adolescents, and handicapped persons.

We started our relationship with CILSA in 2008 for the distribution of wheelchairs in Argentina. These orthopedic devices were donated by an international non-profit humanitarian organization which is represented by us.

Since then, together with CILSA we have distributed more than 10,000 wheelchairs all over the country.

Through Molinos Handicrafts Giving Back, we hope to increase our contribution to the support of all CILSA´s Programs to assist people with disabilities. 

HOW CAN YOU GIVE BACK?

Throughout the year and on special top sales dates, you will find some items identified as SOLIDARITY PRODUCT. 

If you buy any of them, Cilsa will receive from Molinos Handicrafts an additional percentage of these sales besides its usual donations. In this way, you will contribute to this NGO and its humanitarian social work.
