GIVING BACK
GIVING BACK
“Chia” is the word for “Strength” in the Mayan language.
The Maya people of Central and South America have revered the benefits of Chia Seeds for thousands of years and at Maya Chia we believe it imperative to give back.
We are the corporate sponsor of Adopt-A-Village Guatemala, a non-profit organization that helps children and families by providing education and skills training so that they may improve their social and economic condition.
In 2021, Adopt-a-Village received the Energy Globe Award in honor of its sustainable organic gardening program in which it teaches Maya of all ages how to grow nutritious food for today and future generations. This is just one of the many life-changing programs this organization is committed to.
Thank you for helping us to make a difference.
Solar-Powered Studio

At Maya Chia, we are committed to taking every step we can to be as environmentally responsible as possible. We are by no means perfect - we are continually evolving - but we are trying to make progress in the right direction.
With that said, we recently made the decision to install solar panels in our nearly 5,000 square foot studio complex in Charleston, South Carolina. We are now pleased to share that we have the capability to offset much of our electrical needs at our facility using solar energy.
What that means is that the Maya Chia products we send to you will be created using clean energy. Additionally, we also installed a solar car charging station in our studio for our employees (at no cost to them) to incentivize the use of electrical vehicles.
