If you want to explore the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation page a little bit to understand their mission and how it aligns with ours, check them out here.

This is our third fundraiser with dōTERRA. Our first collaboration was to raise funds to purchase property that ACEFOMI would use to build a greenhouse and a permanent learning Center.

That fundraiser was successful, and once they were ready to build a greenhouse on that property we once again joined with dōTERRA for a donation matching fundraiser. Together we were able to raise the funds, and as of last year the greenhouse is another successful project! They have already harvested tomatoes and are learning and growing more produce.

For the third time we have partnered with dōTERRA, this time to finally collect enough funds to build a Center that will act as a permanent school for the kids of CEMIK. 

We value our relationship with the dōTERRA Healing Hands team, and we are so grateful for this company and their philanthropic values! Their donation matching program has helped make so many things possible for our partners in Guatemala! 

With the help of many of you, Mundo Exchange has been collaborating with and supporting a dynamic Maya women’s cooperative in Chajul, Guatemala, ACEFOMI  since the early 1990’s.  The women of ACEFOMI support adult and children’s education, nutrition, organic farming, mental health and indigenous rights. Chajul is one of the Mayan villages most devastated by Guatemala’s 36+ years of Civil War – a war that targeted the poor and especially Maya population.  Those who survived witnessed massacres of their family and community members, spent years fleeing from the army, and many experienced extreme sexual and physical assault, as well as years of starvation.

Mundo Exchange has worked with ACEFOMI on projects that promote education, self sufficiency, mental health, nutrition, indigenous children and women’s rights, child and adult literacy, and economic stability.
