which works throughout the world to empower tribal and
native peoples in the development of sustainable lifestyles
and economic solutions.
Plenty has provided
computers and computer training for the T.E.A. and other

The T.E.A.

and encouragement. Plenty Belize currently provides

Plenty's work with
the Mayan people in the Toledo district of Belize involves
many different areas, from the support of women's groups and
craft organizations to the introduction of soy protein and
nutrition.
One of the most
recent projects by Plenty has been a program teaching midwifery
skills and women's health to 14 women from 12 different villages.
The project includes classroom training as well as hands-on
instruction both at the local hospital and out in the villages.
