Sharing the Dream in Guatemala is a project that promotes fair trade with cooperatives and small businesses in Guatemala. We are committed to providing fair wages and employment opportunities to low-income artisans.  We believe this will result in creating sustainable markets for their projects.

When you buy a beautiful work of art, you not only are providing work for the artisan who made it, but the profits from the sale will go to projects like the following:

• Providing financial help to the orphanage Casa Guatemala located in the jungle

• Providing educational scholarships for Guatemalan women and children

• Starting a nutrition center in the mountains

• Buying school supplies for Mayan children in the mountains

• Providing a medical school scholarship for a young Queqchi woman from the jungle

All the people involved with Sharing the Dream are volunteers. A small part of our profit is used for expenses such as the rent on our building and shipping costs. Over 90% of the profits go back to the people of Guatemala.
