Ron was inspired to start Revy after a trip to El Salvador in 2009. He and Mary grew the company together for ten years, and she continues to lead Revy following his passing in November 2019.

Alma de Leon employs members of 10 families to tend the indigo crops and complete the crafting process, and provides them with gardening space on the farm for their own food crops as well. 

Once working solo, Mario now employs a small crew to convert the found rubber scrap into functional and durable accessories. This project both helps the environment and provides jobs in the community. 

Alejandra founded Taller la Familia or "Family Workshop" in 2013, named in honor of her love for family as a daughter, wife and mother. Since her first class in clay miniature making, she has dedicated herself to preserving this traditional art form, drawing upon her creativity to add new innovations. Her small workshop provides employment and supports the local economy in her community of Ilobasco.

The women of Taller Jaraguá purchase all of their materials from other local family businesses to create a thriving support system. Education is one of their main objectives, and proceeds from their sales have enabled them to build a library with donated books. Classes are held in the alleyways of their urban location while still preserving their culture and dignity.

Some of the women in this co-op are ex-gang members who are now working hard to support their children and provide them with a better life. They take pride in their homes and their work; over the ten years Revy has known them, several children from the community have completed high school-- not a small feat in El Salvador, where education beyond the eighth grade is not free.
