Manos de
Guatemala

In Guatemala, there is a rich legacy of artisanal techniques passed down from generation to generation. This cultural heritage represents a valuable opportunity for the economic and social development of communities that possess extraordinary talent.

We believe that supporting artisans is investing in the future of Guatemala. Their talent and creativity are an engine of development for their families and communities. By providing them with the right tools and knowledge, we can multiply their impact and preserve ancestral traditions that enrich our culture.

At Manos de Guatemala we work to empower Guatemalan artisan communities by providing them with the tools and support to develop their skills, preserve their traditions, access emerging markets and improve their quality of life.

We offer comprehensive training in key areas such as creativity, marketing, quality control, personal development and financial education. Additionally, in alliance with AGEXPORT, through its Hecho A Mano Commission, we connect artisans with local and international markets, providing them with exposure and new growth prospects.

The program is currently being developed in Chiquimula, Sololá, Totonicapán and Quetzaltenango.
