Social enterprise owned by indigenous mayan women

We are very happy because this social enterprise "Juxta Nation"  of the Artisan Women of the Highlands of Chiapas recently launched its ecommerce hoping little by little to be able to make this project known and especially the women who are behind it.

In addition to this great news that makes us very happy, we have been working on  methodologies to improve our work internally, an example of this was the development of dynamic inventories; we also collectively created the concept of the collection, the names of each of the garments were generated. The sunrise remained as our main concept in this first collection, Clara, Serena, Aurora, Sol, Lux are some of the names that carry the first pieces of this project.

In the area of communication we had the opportunity to conduct two photo sessions with women artisan partners of this social enterprise "Juxta Nation" of the cooperatives "Bak-Luch" of the community of Bashantic in the municipality of San Andres Larainzar and Yaxinal Antsetik of the community of Tsajalch'en in San Juan Cancuc. These sessions were conducted by Rafa, a photographer with whom we had the opportunity to exchange experiences, we have also been making various materials for social networks to help us in the promotion of this project.

The workshops on the topic of governance continue, the women members of Juxta Nation now have the tools to organize themselves internally in their cooperative, now each group already has a supervisory board and are already officially registered, hoping that the latter will open many doors for each of the cooperative members of this social enterprise.

We continue with a happy heart and all the desire to make this dream come true, the dream of the women artisans of the Highlands of Chiapas, the dream of the NGOimpacto team, the dream of Adriana Adelante.
