Guatemala has been hit hard by COVID, with little Government support. In response, Konojel Community Center has pivoted their efforts, instead of providing 70 nutritious meals a day they are now providing bags of food to 300 families. This video shows the inspiring way that this small village is coming together in these difficult times. https://youtu.be/PT1pcJAf8ws

Right now, we are donation 100% of profits to Konojel Community Center - to put this into perspective; the purchase of 1 YOGA STRAP = 7 WEEKS OF FOOD for one family. That's pretty amazing!

We understand that these are challenging times for many, so if you're not in a position to purchase, simply sharing this post with friends and family helps so so much. Thank-you!

We are donating 💯% of proceeds of all online sales to Guatemala in response to the devastating impact Covid-19 is having on an already challenged community.

WHAT does 100% of proceeds mean? This means the price you pay minus the cost of goods and shipping. Everything else goes directly to Konojel. Luke and I do not take a wage.

WHO are Konojel? Konojel are a non-profit organization in Guatemala focused on reducing chronic malnutrition (70% of the town of San Marcos are malnourished, living off $2/day per household) Right now they are distributing food packages to vulnerable households

WHY do Guatemalan’s need our help? According to Konojel’s director Ingrid Paredes, without our help, “families will quite simply starve.”

We understand that times are tough for many around the world and that a financial contribution isn’t possible for many, but if you would still like to help, please share this with your network of loved ones.

You can also donate directly to the cause - simply visit
