Help Marginalized Indigenous Families in Chiapas

Donation protected
Do you believe in supporting causes that truly matter to your friends? Do you want to help marginalized indigenous communities live sustainably and ecologically on their own land?

Imagine the impact of giving families with multiple children (see video) safe, ecological cookstoves so they don’t have to inhale smoke from open-air fires while preparing meals. Or supporting permaculture projects that empower indigenous communities to thrive in harmony with nature on their own land.

Now, consider this: every dollar you donate is worth 20 times more in Mexico, thanks to the current exchange rate. That means your generosity stretches further, making a profound difference in the lives of those who need it most.

SOUND GOOD? Well, you're in luck! I have the perfect giving opportunity for you. You won't regret it. Have you ever regretted giving? No, of course not! You feel good about it!

I’m Julie and I’m fundraising for a small, powerful nonprofit called UNECODES in Chiapas, Mexico. This grassroots organization is dedicated to empowering indigenous communities through training and hands-on workshops and projects to promote sustainable farming, food security, ecological practices, and more.

UNECODES was founded by an indigenous Mexican woman I had the honor of working with during my year living in Chiapas, She is the real deal: trustworthy, dedicated to her cause, loving, hardworking, and funny - someone who understands why we are here on this earth.

She reached out to me because they urgently need funds for essential equipment after a lightning strike destroyed their computer, laptop, and printer. They also seeking donations to purchase ecological cookstoves for families, so the families can cook a safe and healthy manner. See the video above for an idea of how they are cooking now. That smoke is inside their home.


This is a cause that has been vetted others who know and trust the work being done, including Amigos de San Cristóbal, a US-based nonprofit that has funded them. UNECODES’ dedication to sustainable development, ecological practices, and indigenous empowerment is truly inspiring.

So, I’m asking you to give generously to this meaningful cause. I am giving $400 because I sincerely believe in this cause.
Your donation—big or small—will make an enormous difference to the indigenous families UNECODES supports.

Will you spend a few minute donating to this important cause or keep on scrolling? Asking for a friend.

Your contribution is deeply appreciated by me, and more importantly, by the indigenous families of Chiapas and this earth as a whole as we are all inextricably interconnected.

THANK YOU!
