Mayamam Weavers
Mayamam Weavers create a wide range of handwoven home goods and accessories for men, women and children, inspired by the rich colors and patterns and traditional weaving techniques of Mayan culture. We began in 2008 as a cooperative of women in Cajolá, a Mayan town in the western highlands of Guatemala. To overcome poverty, the women came together to explore ways to provide jobs within their community, rather than migrate to the U.S. and separate their families. Since then, then cooperative has grown to 20 weavers and seamstresses, all earning fair trade wages while learning the skills to run a business.
