MANOS QUE RECONSTRUYEN OAXACA A.C.
Location: ASUNCION IXTALTEPEC, Mexico
Summary
In September 2017 many villages of Oaxaca, South of Mexico, were heavily damaged by an earthquake. Una Mano Para Oaxaca aims to provide education for local people to improve their living conditions. At our Community Center indigenous Zapotec women learn about traditional trades in order to increase their income and rebuild their houses. This educational model strengthens their collective voice and power, through healing, self-esteem, cultural and artistic workshops for women and their children.
