Meet the Artisans
mi eelo
At mi eelo, creativity and community go hand in hand. What began as a small entrepreneurship program led by women living near the Guatemala City garbage dump has grown into a thriving social impact business. Today, a team of 10 full-time employees and 25 part-time artisans—along with independent makers—collaborate daily to produce high-quality, handmade goods that reflect both resilience and artistry.
The women who founded mi eelo transformed their experiences with unstable, informal work into a movement for dignified employment and financial independence. They remain at the heart of the business, serving as role models and leaders for their community. Every product carries their spirit: makers, creators, designers, and artisans building brighter futures together.
