Mayan Hands is a Fair Trade nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering Mayan women in their quest to bring their families out of extreme poverty as they continue to live within the culture they cherish. Mayan Hands believes that when provided economic opportunity and income over time, women can build sustainable futures for themselves, their families and communities.
They partner with more than 200 women artisans in 13 communities in the Guatemalan Highlands. Working with Fair Trade for 25 years has brought a change in the lives of the women: they speak out, resist domestic oppression, and, counting on a regular income, have more control over their lives; their families eat better and all their children go to school, some even to the university.
In addition to offering fair wages for their work, Mayan Hands provides other support to their artisan partners, such as micro-lending, training in new skills and techniques, business and leadership development, access to health care, as well as classes in gender role awareness, domestic violence, conflict resolution, herbal medicine, and more.
Was 1 of my favorite baskets . I forgot to take a picture but loved it so much I need to buy me self one. Gave it to my sister in law for Christmas and she ❤️❤️❤️ It so much . Hope there is a way to order another. If there is I will and I recommend you do to.
Very pretty basket. Smaller than I imagined,but intricate and lovely.
Beautiful! Filling it with Christmas cards!
This beautiful basket may be my favorite GlobeIn purchase to date. It's a great size for storing fruit on the countertop or lining with a napkin as a bread basket, but it's such a work of art that I almost hate to use it. You will not be disappointed.
