One way of further helping the local communities in Cape Verde is buying the handicraft they produce (sculpted characters made of clay and banana leaf) , which is focussed on the daily life activities, amongst which are - "cuchindo o milho"; selling home made cakes in the street corners, looking after the children, etc.
These "pieces of art" are as simple as the people who do them, which is what I really like. 
I do sincerely hope to be able to buy some of these to bring back, during my fairly tight scheduled stay in Santiago island, although it is not always easy to get them, once it is not a mass production type of handicraft.
