Mujeres Analizadoras Cooperative
Community of El Tablon, Guatemala

El Tablon's close proximity to military barracks resulted in a high number of disappearances during Guatemala's civil war. Women from the community formed the Mujeres Analizadoras artisan cooperative to provide income and support to those recovering from the resulting financial and emotional strain. Cooperative members are known for the quality and range of their jewelry designs, including the community's distinctive woven beaded necklaces and bracelets.

Members of the Analizadoras cooperative provide primary and middle school scholarships to local children. The group also hopes to build a community center and invite and train additional cooperative members as their sales through Mercado Global increase.

Cooperative members: 17
Indirect beneficiaries: 46
