Consolidating the social enterprise, JUXTA NATION, promotes a sustainable social enterprise of contemporary textile products. It applies a focus on design innovation and collaborative value, through self-management and the organization of groups of indigenous women artisans. Allowing them to establish operational strategies both for the development of differentiated contemporary products, as well as commercial operations for direct sales online nationally and internationally. Juxtanation.co (e-retail) being the main platform for direct fair trade of contemporary handcrafted textile products.
In a continuous progress, women artisans (majority members of JUXTA NATION) strengthen their leadership and self-esteem, with knowledge and appropriate tools for the defense of their rights and the protection of their cultural heritage, strengthening their autonomy and self-management.
JUXTA NATION implements an ethical model with transparency and traceability strategies, hand in hand with NGOimpacto. Following up on the training of craftswomen and implementing a database of craftswomen and issuing ethical validation vouchers for products sold under JUXTA.
JUXTA NATION's strategy and plans are scalable nationally and internationally due to possible collaborations with other NGOs with shared long-term values. Allowing a large scale of communities not only in Chiapas or other states of the Mexican Republic but in other countries such as Peru, Guatemala, Bolivia, Chile, to mention a few.
As a social enterprise, JUXTA NATION is committed to the proper inclusion of indigenous women who participate as owners of the platform and as producers for JUXTA through their micro-enterprises or sub-regions.
