One Equal Heart Foundation is focusing our fundraising efforts in three areas:

1. Sustainable Agriculture and Child Nutrition

The Caretakers of the Earth Program (view slideshow) provides education, training and supplies for community volunteers in their work to support sustainable agriculture and small animal husbandry, improve the nutritional health of hungry families, and encourage the recuperation of Tseltal traditions and rituals related to the cultivation of the Earth. The Children's Nutrition Project (view slideshow) identifies malnourished children in targeted villages, and through volunteers, provides ongoing assessment and nutritional supplements made from locally available ingredients. The LORENA Stoves Project (view slideshow) promotes the creation of stoves made from local materials that use less firewood (reducing the number of trees cut down for fuel) and produce less smoke (improving the air quality of the home and reducing respiratory problems related to smoke inhalation).

2. Tseltal Maya Youth Scholarship Fund

Work-study scholarships for Tseltal Maya youth who wish to continue their studies beyond high school while serving as volunteers in their communities.

3. Community Leadership Training & Support

Education and training for traditional judges, mediators and other community leaders to encourage the nonviolent resolution of conflicts in communities and to strengthen the Tseltal culture and language.
