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.
