Mayan Hands is a fair trade nonprofit organization dedicated to providing economic and educational opportunities to Mayan women and girls so that they can build sustainable futures for themselves, their families and communities, as they continue to live within the culture they cherish.

Working with fair trade for all these years has brought a sea change in the lives of the women they work with: they speak out, resist domestic oppression, and, counting on a regular income, have more agency in their lives.

Today, Mayan Hands partners with more than 200 women artisans in 15 communities in the Guatemalan Highlands. Through your fair trade purchase of their fine handmade products, you too are connected to our remarkable artisan partners and support their quest to keep their rich cultural traditions alive.
