Christmas Joy for Trama Textiles Families
Donation protected
Every year, Trama raises funds to provide a huge thank you to all the weavers of the cooperative, for their incredibly skilled and hard work throughout the year.
This year, that thank you is needed more than ever, as we near the end of what has been what of the toughest year's for many in a very long time.
We wish to provide each of our weavers with a food parcel for their family, along with toys for the children and school supplies for next year. Schools are yet to re-open in Guatemala, meaning that many children in the Trama cooperative have sadly missed a year of education, as online schooling is not something that is available for many of the communities in rural Guatemala.
Trama Textiles is an association of artisan women backstrap weavers. Our mission is to create work for fair wages for these women, to support their families and communities, and to preserve and develop cultural traditions.
We work directly with the women from the rural regions of Guatemala. Nevertheless, nutrition, health care and education are major issues in the rural communities. The Christmas festivities are the perfect time to offer additional support and give back some love and joy.
Like previous years, we are hoping for your help to create mindful caring packages to give to our weavers and their families.
Depending on COVID restrictions, we will be visiting or sending packages to 200 families in 10 rural communities all over Guatemala.
We are providing essentials like:
- nutrition (basic food supplies: beans, rice, treats)
- educational equipment (notebooks, pencils)
- toys for the little ones
With your contribution Trama Textiles is able to support the women and their families and continue to maintain the textile crafts and traditions.
The power of smiles and laughter is a huge reward. Support Trama families, who are grateful for each gift!
