A company in North Carolina that sells products handmade by Mayan women in Guatemala uses part of its revenues to aid indigenous families in the region.

Charlotte-based PhD Productions LLC launched a colorful, 100-percent-cotton flying disc made by 400 Mayan women at a weavers’ cooperative in Guatemala’s Panajachel region.

According to Patrick Groft, one of the company’s owners, in 2011 more than 200,000 Pocket Discs were sold in the United States for profits around the $2 million mark.
