SPONSOR OUR WEAVERS' CHILDREN
National literacy and education levels in Guatemala are low, however, these statistics are even worse in rural and indigenous communities such as those of the Trama Textiles Cooperative. 65% of rural, mostly indigenous, children do not complete lower secondary education and 78% do not complete upper secondary education. This lack of education perpetuates the cycle of poverty and denies indigenous communities, often the most marginalized in Guatemala, the opportunity for a better future. The Almaya Education Fund was established in 2021 to provide scholarships for our weaver's children to complete all six years of middle and high school. This provides students with stability and security, knowing that they will be supported throughout their entire educational journey.
