Ruth and Nohemi, a program of the Methodist Church in Guatemala, was started in the 1980's to generate income for widows who had lost their husbands in the civil war. After the war, the widows organized themselves and began raising pigs, chickens, and sheep and sold their bright backstrap weavings. The program today also includes young men, many of them sons of these widows, who are helping themselves and their families by learning income-generating skills and receiving a basic education.
