Review for Mujeres de Maiz Opportunity Foundation, Sequim, WA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was introduced to this organization several years ago. Since that time, I have been increasingly impressed with the work they have done and how they have progressed and grown. I feel as though my donations have been put to good use, as they began by funding scholarships for a few girls in the Chiapas area and are now able to fund an increasing number of scholarships. Added to the program have been the provisions of paying for eye exams and glasses, programs on dental health, women's literacy programs and Saturday children's literacy programs. I have also been to Chiapas and personally witnessed the difference these programs are making in the lives of the young women there.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the Chiapas area of Mexico. The women of the cooperative are grateful, dedicated, self-motivated, directed, determined and inspiring. This lets one know that however they can help will be beneficial, much appreciated, and utilized well.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Increase exposure. I have found that once a person learns of this organization and how it helps, it inspires them to want to help as well. The women of the cooperative need a place to call their own and if Mujeres can help them attain that goal, it would be a wonderful achievement for all concerned.

Role:  Board Member & I travelled to Chiapas and witnessed the effect of the scholarships in the lives of these young women. It was inspiring and motivating and I have since become a member of the Board of Directors. .
