Mayan Power and Light (MPL) promotes grassroots community development with social entrepreneurship and renewable
technologies. MPL promotes gender equality with a focus on teaching Mayan women to create sustainable businesses through trainings, access, and inclusion. MPL works with other established and ethical nonprofits that have deep knowledge of the communities they serve. Together, they empower local populations to take control of their own destinies by fostering the conditions for self-agency. Pennywise is pleased to support this creative approach to filling critical resource gaps while empowering women.
