Organic Agroindustry:
This project, "Proyecto de Agroindustria de Poxlajuj-Totonicapan", is located 25km from Quetzaltenango, where 25 Maya-Quiche women produce jams, dried fruits, bread and cereals. Volunteers can help market and commercialize the products as well as help in areas of education.
Artisans Support Project:
We work with five cooperatives with over 1200 people, of which more than 95% are Mayan women who produce handcrafted wooden products and textiles.They are located in rural villages in the Guatemalan highlands such as Huehuetenango, Solola, Poxlajuj and Totonicapan. We help them establish the infrastructure and teach them the necessary methods to commercialize their products, since their families are economically dependent on their income. Volunteers may help them with their experience in marketing, the usage of computers and office equipment, or help translate and design leaflets and catalogs in English, French and German.
