Our Story

Many customers like to know about the company and people behind the products they buy. Here we will tell you a little about ourselves and our company.

Our Philosophy

The objective of our business is to provide a high quality handicrafts and reliable service for our customers. We hope you will enjoy visiting our web site and our products as much as we enjoyed providing them for you.

Our Origins

DP Tecnología is a Guatemalan firm, founded in 1996 to assist organizations in their information needs. Our Projects in Social Research in the Education, Health and Communitarian Development Sectors allowed us to achieve an in-depth understanding  of Guatemalan’s conditions, and of their hardships in life.

How we work
 
Our organization gets in contact with communities or institutions that work directly with artisans. In addition to our technical and financial support, we bring to our partnerships our up-to-date technological knowledge, as a means to find new opportunities for training, marketing y sales of the handicrafts products. We look for long-term relationships that bring benefits to all involved and that encourage self-management and both individual and communal development.

Our Current Mission

The knowledge we’ve obtained on our country has moved us to work on a local development model that might allow individual and communities as a whole to improve the quality of their lives. We’ve based our model on the premise that it’s better to teach and individual how to work, than to just provide them with temporary help.

We’ve found in the Handicrafts Sector a means to better the living conditions in rural areas in Guatemala. On one hand, communities, while working, are also preserving their cultural heritage and traditions, while on the other hand they are obtaining an income that allows them access to basic services, such as education and health, services that are basic to an integral development.
