Circle of Hope
Circle of Hope is a non profit organization dedicated to helping the people of Aceituno,Guatemala. Our primary focus is helping women by teaching them a trade. Classes in beading and sewing began in February of 2007. The women of Circle of Hope produced have produce over 700 bracelets in the past 18 months. They make children's clothing from brightly colored Guatemalan cottons. All of Circle of Hope's goods are sold in the United States. Circle of Hope pays each women a fair wage for her goods ( more than double market value in Guatemala). Any additional funds or profits are returned to the program to pay for supplies, help with medical expenses and our education fund.
