Cooperative Cojolya
of Santiago Atitlán, Sololá
Founded in 1996 in the aftermath of the Guatemalan Civil War, Cojolya emerged as a response to the scarcity of work in Santiago Atitlán. Its mission is to provide fair, dignified employment to local artisans while also offering vital social support within the community. Today, Cojolya serves up to 40 artisans and their families, extending assistance in both healthcare and education.
The name “Cojolya” comes from the Tz’utujil language and means “between the waters,” a nod to the town’s location on the shores of Lake Atitlán. Santiago is especially known for its exquisite hand-embroidered huipiles—intricate works of art that can take up to four months to complete.
