Maya Global 2012 wants to change the status quo of the Mayan people by letting you buy their products.
500 years ago the Maya gave maize and cacao to the world. Today they are still growing and producing products like coffee, cacao, and black salt. Yet they live in dire poverty because there is no one to buy their products. The local markets are small and they have no access to the global marketplace. Maya Global 2012 will bring these products to individuals across the globe through an online marketplace and give the Maya an opportunity to retail products directly to consumers. Maya Global is dedicated to making December 22, 2012 a new dawn filled with hope rather than one more day of despair.
