🌱 Empowering Indigenous Women through Regenerative Farming: Give Back to the Source.
Give Back to the Source is a transformative project aimed at supporting regenerative farming practices in Suchitepequez, Guatemala, while establishing a dedicated women`s eco-artisan center. Thanks to a TPP seed grant, they were able to take the first steps towards establishing the center and convened with a group of indigenous women to plan the next phase of their bamboo craft program. They are dedicated to empowering these women economically, ensuring they have the tools and knowledge to thrive independently. With a lined-up order of bamboo curtains, the women will receive mentorship to complete their first collective sale, marking a significant step towards sustainable self-sufficiency.
