History of MayaWorks The weavings in that suitcase sold quickly and soon many suitcases were being carried back to the U.S. Larger shipments were arriving to be processed through customs and then distributed to volunteers for selling. As U.S. sales increased, additional weavers were employed and the range of artisan products broadened. In 1992 Patricia Krause carried a suitcase of weavings back to the U.S. with the hope of opening a market for the work of poor Maya women.

It consists of three components: Economic Development Social Venture – creates ongoing work for Guatemalan artisans and provides U.S. women an opportunity to directly support women’s global economic development. Microcredit – develops women artisans as entrepreneurs to create projects that generate additional sources of income. Education – gives indigenous women opportunities to continue to study and receive training so that they create a more secure future for themselves and their families.
