In a world where women own just 1% of the world's financial assets and earn only 10% of the world's income, MayaWorks has provided nearly $2,000,000 in earnings to indigenous women in Guatemala. MayaWorks is about creating work for women. It's about giving women a hand up to use their skills to provide for their families and build a brighter future. A friend of MayaWorks has made a $10,000 challenge gift to the Hand Up Challenge. For every dollar MayaWorks raises, the donor will make a matching donation. These dollars go a long way in funding artisan training, awarding scholarships to young girls, supporting tutoring centers in artisan communities and granting microcredit loans so that women can build small businesses. Together we can transform women's lives. Take part in our Hand Up Challenge and help women realize their dreams! Donate by June 30 on our secure website at www.mayaworks.org/donate.php.
