A win-win: Adelante continues to catapult craftsmen and their families out of poverty and into the middle class. All cobblers employed by Adelante, which was founded three years ago in by 28-year old International Relations Graduate, Peter Sacco are paid above what is know as “The Living Well Line” – a social impact methodology that is used to define the relative cost of living well in a given community anywhere in the world. The methodology works by balancing an econometric analysis of World Bank data with individual interviews to define the goods and services needed to live well in a specific location. Paying over the Living Well Line equates to paying more than double the market rate in Pastores, Guatemala.
