THE BUSINESS PLAN

In the slum of La Limonada in Guatemala City, Otto’s business is providing jobs for former gang members. The slum is considered one of the most dangerous in the world, and gangs control each of the ten barrios. Gang members are branded with gang tattoos and unable to find employment if they want to leave the gangs.

Otto’s business changes that.

THE ART OF BACKSTRAP WEAVING Rooted in the history of Guatemala, backstrap weaving is traditional in the Mayan culture, pre-dating the arrival of the Spanish in the 1500’s. Using high quality yarns, the women are keeping this art form alive while providing for their families.

The backstrap loom allows for embroidery to be done within the textile itself, rather than on top. This creates a quality that is unmatched.
