Here group “Jun Mokaaj Ixmucane”, The Mother Weavers, train 100 women as members of their co-op. The ladies’ plan is to re-invest profit to eventually provide water for the 100 families in their charge and in the neighborhoods. The Mother Wavers, in addressing disparate drop out rates between boys and girls, also produce re-usable feminine products for local school girls.
