Our Mission
The mission of Oxlajuj B’atz’ is to facilitate processes for Maya women artisans to bring about change, through their own efforts, that will alleviate the adverse effects of poverty and improve their quality of life. Our mission is guided by the principles of harmony, democracy, and sustainability.
See how we carry out our mission through our educational programs and at our Maya Women’s Center.
Our Vision
Through the encouragement of Oxlajuj B’atz’, our members become empowered by increasing their knowledge and skills. Their participation in democratically run cooperatives with other women they trust and respect provides them with the ability to earn a sustainable income, which is beneficial to both their families and communities.
See how we are realizing our vision through our institutional strengthening efforts.
