When you purchase our handmade Guatemalan products, you are helping the artisans in many ways.

First, the women receive payment for their work in accordance with the objectives of the Fair Trade Federation.

Secondly, Maya Traditions returns a portion of the profits earned to our education and health projects. After interviews of the women were done in 1996 it was revealed that education and health were their most pressing needs. Over the years the women have assisted in the development of these projects that benefit their families.












We are unable to meet all of the needs of the women's communities we work with for assistance in health and education. Donations are gratefully accepted to help sustain our projects and provide more scholarships to the children of the weavers.
