Consolidation and amplification of the process of handmade managerial organization with women Q´ekchi´ of the community "Los Laureles", located into the multiple uses zone on hillside of the "Cerro San Gil" in Livingston, Izabal.
To support the organizational and managerial invigoration of a group of women of the ethnic group Q´ekchi´ that have begun activities producing crafts starting from the tusa (cover of the fruit of the corn) and the stump of the banana tree, producing handmade paper for the crafts.
To continue the process, they want to identify other alternatives of material wooden and non wooden with handmade potential and markets for the commercialization of the the products to elaborate. The main strategy will be the community participation and the training through shops so that the process is sustainable and to strengthen the organization of the group of indigenous women.
