Mayan Mothers' Fund
100% of your generous donation goes toward buying food for local Mayan women in Santa Cruz La Laguna whose families are in the greatest need of financial support.
Your generous donation directly supports local Mayan women in Santa Cruz La Laguna, providing urgent financial assistance to their families. 100% of your contribution goes directly to those in need.
Founded in 2020 by Villa Sumaya, this initiative emerged after recognizing that older women—widows and mothers with little or no income—were often overlooked by existing nonprofits.
Our approach is simple and impactful:
🥬 All funds raised go toward purchasing fresh vegetables, eggs, and chicken for the families of the most in-need Mayan mothers. With minimal administrative costs, donations are fully utilized for food.
🤝 We employ a local single mother, fluent in the Mayan language, to identify beneficiaries, manage logistics, and ensure smooth, dignified distribution.
Program Highlights:
✅ In 2022, we expanded from feeding 7 women weekly to 22 elderly individuals every Saturday at the Santa Cruz market.
✅ Early morning food purchases ensure *swift distribution* in front of the town’s century-old church.
✅ Beyond food, we’ve provided 38 mattresses, 44 blankets, and 4 wooden bed frames to improve living conditions for 42 women and 2 men.
✅ In November 2024, we arranged eye exams and follow-up care for 12 individuals, with plans to support more in the coming months.
✅ On March 21, 2025, we took 10 more elders for eye exams. We committed to 7 additional cataract surgeries, prescriptions for glaucoma medication to be purchased monthly, and one pair of glasses for each. With your support, our activities continue to flourish.
