QUETZAL CRAFTS - GUATEMALA
In the outskirts of Antigua, Guatemala 3 different women's groups have all received small business loans from World Vision International. They are comprised of women from the Mayan Tribe, and are heirs of a long line of weavers and embroiderers. They come from very rural areas in Guatemala and exist off of very little income. The purchase of this product helps employ those in the rural villages of Antigua and supports these women's small businesses!
