Our mission is to help Mayan families in Belize send their children to school. The limited ublic education is available only in the big ciites such as Belmopan and Belize City.  Back in the mayan Mountains where Maya First is working, there are only Church-sponsored tuition based schools. With their large families, it is hard to send even one child to school. With your help, we can send more and more Maya children to school ensuring they have a brighter future with more economic opportunities.
