Successful sustainable development is about providing startup capital as well as on-going training to a group interested in working in a cooperative business. Grupo Cajolá’s goal is to create employment and purpose through sustainable businesses within Cajolá to prevent the need to cross the border for financial security. The on-going technical training we provide depends on the needs of the specific business. These needs can range from training in administrative skills, business management, to collaboration. The Maya world view is based on working collectively.

Until Grupo Cajolá, there were no other businesses offering regular employment or management skills in the area. Grupo Cajolá understands that economic development is a long term process and is committed to supporting the businesses until they achieve independence.  Learn more about the businesses below!
