My Nonprofit Reviews

MAIA is a best in class organization on absolutely every level. It's hard to put into words the caliber of programs, people, and impact because it's so far beyond that of any other organization I've seen. MAIA is a truly global model of innovation and empowerment.

The context in which MAIA works is arguably one of the most challenging in the world, which is exactly why their model is so critical for the communities they serve. But their reach goes beyond the immediate communities, it's national and it's global as evidenced by their many international recognitions and awards. The MAIA staff's ability to navigate and adapt to a myriad of challenges ranging from environmental, political, social, and cultural, guarantees the organization's ability to succeed far into the future.

There are many definitions of success at MAIA. Through local leadership and a model based in self-empowerment, they unlock nascent talent, challenge cultural paradigms, invest in sustainable development, upend the status quo for gender equality, and elevate the status and voices of Guatemala's most powerful resource- its women.

As a former staff member, current donor, and lifelong supporter, I encourage others to learn more about MAIA and get involved to the fullest extent. Your support will help MAIA create infinite impact in Guatemala and beyond, and I guarantee you will personally benefit and grow in more ways than you can imagine!
