Onil Stove Information
Mayan Families provides needy families with fuel-efficient wood stoves that have financial, health, and environmental benefits. The stoves which we deliver and install are 70% more fuel efficient than traditional open-fire methods. We have observed significant reductions of monthly firewood expenses, reduced incidents of respiratory ailments and burns as well as reduced deforestation impacts.

Information on the Chicken "Bucks for Clucks" Project
The gift of baby chicks helps provide a needy family in Guatemala with a sustainable diet of protein from eggs, meat, and a supplemental income from selling extra eggs and chickens at market. A $3.50 donation to Mayan Families will allow a poverty stricken family in Guatemala to receive one chick in your honor. This will cover the chick, feed and supplies to build a coop. The gift of baby chicks is a life-sustaining gift that keeps on giving! Thank You!!!!!
