Summary
Impacto textil is now starting to replicate and scale methodologies and tools as to serve 500 to 1000 artisans in a two-year timeframe (having worked with 200 Mayan women to improve production of textile handicrafts). Our work helps women to expand on their craft, teaching them advanced design principles and technical skills. With improved products, artisans gain increased access to ethical and fair trade markets and a secure income to support their families, mainly children and their community.
