A Legacy of Giving Back

Founded by Marek Zmysłowski and Yaritza Reyes, our foundation originally launched in 2017 under the name MaYa Foundation, supporting communities in Nigeria and Bhutan. As Samana Group expanded, so did our mission. Today, Samana Group Foundation is at the heart of our efforts in El Valle and Monte Rojo, providing essential programs that support local families and businesses.
