The Almaya Fund
Weaving Opportunities, Preserving Traditions
The Almaya Fund was created by Trama Textiles to build lasting opportunities for our community.
Your contribution helps us:
Empower Maya women weavers who preserve the ancestral backstrap weaving technique.
Support the education of their children, ensuring they have the resources to dream and learn.
Every donation—big or small—makes a real difference in the lives of our families.
1. Become a Monthly Supporter
Monthly contributions keep our programs running throughout the year.
Tourism and sales are not always stable, and your ongoing support helps us:
Purchase materials and threads.
Provide training and fair wages for weavers.
Cover administrative and operational costs that sustain the organization.
Choose your monthly plan:
$25/month
$50/month
2. Make a One-Time Donation
Prefer to give once? Every contribution helps us respond to urgent needs and continue our mission.
Your donation will be used to strengthen the organization, purchase materials, and fund projects led by the women of Trama Textiles.
3. Sponsor a Child’s Education
Our sponsorship program helps cover school supplies, transportation, and family support for the children of our weavers.
Sponsors receive periodic updates about the child they’re supporting and how their help is making a difference.

🌻 Why Your Support Matters
Our income from tourism and sales fluctuates throughout the year.
That’s why your donations—especially monthly ones—are essential.
They allow us to plan ahead, keep paying our artisans fairly, purchase weaving materials, and maintain our administrative operations even during low seasons.
Your generosity provides stability and continuity for the women and families behind every handmade textile.
