MAIA unlocks and maximizes the potential of young Maya women to lead transformational change and create a more equitable society. Launched in 2017 and located near the city of Sololá, the MAIA Impact School is Central America’s first female, Indigenous-led secondary school specifically designed to connect the talents of rural Indigenous young women with the opportunities of the 21st century. 

The school serves about 300 girls from 40 remote villages.  IOUF is pleased to support an innovative program for women´s education.
