After spending an extended amount of time in Northern Peru, Nisolo's founders noticed how tragically impoverished the local families were and how much they needed assistance to market their product. They felt that the source of poverty in that area was from lack of consistent jobs. The Nisolo team realized there were more than 3,000 small-scale shoemakers who struggling to make a living, despite the beauty and quality of their products. Nisolo's aim is to redefine what success means for the people of Northern Peru. They achieve this by helping artisans and their families share their extraordinary craftsmanship with the global market.

Referring to the artisans' work, Nisolo states: "As we grow, they will grow. As they grow, their communities will grow. As these communities grow, our world will change for the better."
