Mayas Hope Foundation Inc. reported being impacted by COVID-19 in the following ways:
Program Delivery
Fundraising Capacity
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's operations financially:
We were not able to hold face-to-face fundraising events. For this reason, Maya's Hope held a virtual gala in 2019 and a hybrid event in 2020. Donations to our organization took place through Facebook, Donorbox and Instagram.
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's delivery of programs:
We provided immediate needs and emergency surgeries to families in both Ukraine and the Philippines who were affected by COVID-19.
How this organization adapted to changing conditions caused by COVID-19:
We understood early on that the most effective thing we could do was focus on surgeries at a time when applicants were scared to bring their child to the hospital. Despite the hardships that COVID-19 brought we performed more surgeries in 2021/2020/2019 than in the previous years. Through our network doctors, medical staff and fieldworkers, as well as thanks to the donors of Maya's hope, we we able to fund complex spinal, cranial, hip, and abdominal surgeries and provide medical procedures such as MRIs, CT scans, X-rays and further diagnostic testing for sick and needy children.
Innovations the organization intends to continue permanently after the pandemic:
We will continue to focus on providing surgeries for impoverished and orphaned children with special needs who have no other hope, as well as providing emergency needs and supplies to children in orphanages in Ukraine.
