Social Enterprise
Rocinha, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, is better known as Brazil’s largest, most dangerous slum than as an inspiration for high-end fashion designers. But that’s all changing, thanks to Maria Teresa "Tetê" Leal. Coopa Roca, the social enterprise she founded, is a women’s cooperative dedicated to reviving traditional Brazilian craft techniques such as drawstring appliqué, crochet, knot work and patchwork. Coopa Roca provides good-paying, work-at-home opportunities for women in Rocinha, and their designs have made the transition from handcrafts to high fashion.
