A woman shows her embroidery in the village of Chuisuc, near Cantel, in Guatemala's highland Quetzaltenango province. The Fraternidad de Presbiteriales Mayas works with women and families in this K’iché-speaking Maya community, providing education, credit, health care, and empowerment. Many of the women in this group weave and embroider, using credit from the Fraternidad to buy materials they need to produce a product they then sell, utilizing the income to better their family’s quality of living.
