Mayanza

Our Story

Founded in 2016 by Jami, Emiliee, and Carla, Mayanza began with a mission trip to Santiago Atitlan, where the founders provided essential health screenings and hygiene supplies to local children. Their passion for the community led to the establishment of a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving health resources for families in the region. Mayanza has since expanded its programs to include nutrition education for mothers, sexual health for teenagers, and body systems education for elementary school children, all aimed at fostering a healthier community.

Impact

Despite the challenges faced in 2020, Mayanza has made significant strides in the Santiago Atitlan community. Nearly 550 children received dental disease screenings, fluoride varnish applications, and hygiene supplies. Additionally, 142 school children benefited from restorative dental care, thanks to grants and partnerships with local dental professionals. Health screenings have shown a notable decline in anemia prevalence, demonstrating the effectiveness of Mayanza's initiatives.
