GUATEMALA / Proyecto Mosaico e.V
The project is a textile producing cooperative, composed by widows and orphans from the 36 years of civil war. They produce bags, clothes, table clothes, etc. with traditional symbols but with different colors. Currently it has 30 weavers, including several elderly. They are constantly incorporating new fabrics. Each weaver produces its tissues in her own home, but the project is a venue for group activities which is located behind the municipal market. Some part of their sales is invested in the cooperative and educational activities. They recently started an alternative tourism project.
