We believe all women can embrace who they are, can define their future, and can change the world.
ABOUT US
MayaFunds is a non-profit organization that is working to address inequality by creating education and employment opportunities for the most disenfranchised communities of Bangladesh. We do this by helping resource students with the materials and support they need in order to pursue and complete education. We provide scholarships that cover the various costs of education and network students with possible employment opportunities for themselves and their families. You can sponsor one student and their family for 83 cents or 69 taka a day which covers one nutritious meal for the student, tuition and fees, books and supplies, transportation to and from school for the student, and some livestock which helps to generate income for the family. #iamMaya

"I see importance in the work that Maya does because it looks to provide resources most proximal to the needs of young adults, their families and their communities. In thinking about community organizing and grassroots efforts, Maya allows me to consider that future change also requires us to meet our communities’ current needs. Fulfilling these needs and cultivating community support to do so has allowed me to commit to work that is sustaining."
