The Maya Foundation a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to empowering women and young girls in communities around the world in sustainable ways so they can empower others.
We teach young women how to grow food crops and build a sustainable life for themselves and their families. We teach financial literacy to effectively manage agricultural earnings.
Byeffe Foods signed an MOU agreement with the women’s group to supply agricultural training, seed, and fertilizer, and they agreed to buy the products the women produce. This plan has already been tested and vetted by USAID through the Feed the Future program. The crop the women will be growing is a particular kind of pumpkin needed to produce pumpkin cereal and other pumpkin related products. With the rise of HIV, Celiac disease, and other diseases, the pumpkin has become a mainstay in public school and hospital diets, and is available in community grocery stores in Uganda.
The Maya Foundation has worked supporting women and their families in Kenya, Uganda, and Brazil. In 2014 we began a community-based project in the Washington, DC area, energizing volunteers to sew clothing for young children in Kenya, Uganda, and Brazil, and to distribute freshly baked bread to needy families.
With your generous donation, The Maya Foundation will be able to empower young girls and their families in impoverished communities around the world and help these girls work toward a brighter future. Your donation is tax deductible.
