In the tiny Guatemalan hamlet of Comalapa, the eight women of the Agua Caliente group weave the fabric for the Handmade Guatemalan Worry Doll Wreaths and handcraft the final product. These skilled Mayan weavers create the colorful fabric of the worry doll wreath on the foot loom. The foot loom is handmade using local labor, and requires no electricity to run, saving precious resources. During the 36 year civil war in Guatemala, Agua Caliente was a community that suffered violence and many women became widows. Living in a rural community without the income of a husband, the women lacked the opportunity to make an income and struggled as single mothers. MayaWorks provides a steady income, a fair wage, literacy classes, and technical and professional trainings.
