The Group of Independent Women (“Grupo de Mujeres Las Independientes”) is from the neighborhood of Independencia, which is in the township of San Cristobal Totonican. This area is visited by many domestic and international tourists from the Catholic Church and is known for its friendly atmosphere and beautiful waterfalls.


The group is has been working together for more than 8 years. Their main challenge has been a lack of capital. They need a loan in order to buy materials for making embroideries and plastic baskets.
