Guatemalan Artisans

A group of women artisans in Guatemala work together, weaving a new future for themselves and for their family. Through their work they obtain an income which allows them to cover many necessities, including keeping their children in school. Some of them are widows, young mothers, and single mothers. Through their abilities they have found a way of life. Some of the group work with beaded handicraft, and others work weaving fabrics. It is an enthusiastic group that are always looking forward to doing new things and learning new creative skills! By many efforts and the support of other organizations, they have built their own workshop. Along with this, there is also a little nursery school where the children can play while their mothers work!
