Sharing the Dream in Guatemala is a project that promotes fair trade with cooperatives and small businesses in Guatemala.
We are committed to providing fair wages and employment opportunities to low-income artisans which will result in creating
sustainable markets for their projects.
Weaving is an ancient and revered craft for these Mayan women. All of our fabrics
are hand woven either on backstrap or foot looms.
When you buy this beautiful work of art, you not only are providing
work for these women, but the profits go to the following projects:
* Providing financial help to the orphanage Casa
Guatemala located in the jungle.
* Providing educational scholarships for Guatemalan women and children.
* Starting
a nutrition center in the mountains.
* Buying school supplies for Mayan children in the mountains
* Providing a medical
school scholarship for a young Queqchi woman from the jungle
* Many more...
All the people involved with Sharing
the Dream are volunteers. A small part of our profit is used for expenses such as the rent on our building and shipping
costs. Over 90% of the profits go back to the people of Guatemala.
