Artisans of Panabaj

The community has suffered many tragedies throughout its history. In the years 1980 to 1990, Panabaj suffered from the armed conflict in Guatemala, when soldiers occupied the community. In 1990, the people of Santiago Atitlán reclaimed their rights from the soldiers. The result was the murder of 13 people in Panabaj. "Our organization emerged after Storm Stan, a storm that caused floods and landslides in 2005. Around 900 families lost their homes and approximately 200 people died. Some families had to move to a new community called Chuk Muk.

"In our organization we continue to support the communities of Panabaj, Tzanchaj, Santiago Atitlán, and Chuk Muk through our education and economic development programs. We focus on the empowerment of indigenous women in the rural areas of Santiago Atitlán, providing women with stable sources of income through the sale of handicrafts such as beaded jewelry made on special looms. We also encourage them to have a greater impact on their social, family, political, religious and natural environments."
