Mercado Global is a non-profit organization based in New York City that empowers women artisans in Guatemala and Honduras by providing them with market access and business training. Through their handcrafted collections, which include tote bags, pouches, crossbody bags, and more, Mercado Global not only promotes sustainable fashion but also creates fair income opportunities for their partner artisans. With a focus on reducing waste and lowering their carbon footprint, Mercado Global's upcycled collections utilize donated materials and fabrics, saving thousands of yards from landfills. Their impact is evident in the improved livelihoods of the artisans they work with, who are more likely to have their children enrolled in school, access to food, and their own bank accounts. By connecting indigenous artisans to international sales opportunities and providing them with the necessary tools and training, Mercado Global supports community-based education and asset development. Their mission is to empower women and preserve ancient Mayan weaving techniques, while also promoting sustainability and social impact. Through their partnerships with major retailers and collaborations with designers, Mercado Global continues to expand their reach and make a positive difference in the lives of women artisans.Generated from the website
