Mayan Hands

Guatemala

Mayan Hands is a Fair Trade Federation member working directly with Mayan women weavers, who make up the poorest sector in Guatemalan society, being doubly disadvantaged, as Mayan and as women. Mayan Hands provides resources such as scholarships, school supplies, potable water, and medical support for its artisans, while also creating opportunities for women to continue the 3000-year-old tradition of back-strap loom weaving.
