Maiara Walsh Charity Work, Events and Causes

Blue-eyed Brazilian beauty, Maiara Walsh can be seen on ABC network’s Emmy award-winning hit series Desperate Housewives, as “Ana Solis,” the manipulative niece of Eva Longoria Parker. Wisteria Lane’s resident bad-girl isn’t so bad off-screen; the philanthropy-minded actress is an ambassador for numerous charities and causes.

She has co-hosted the Girl Prep events in Hollywood, and devotes her free time to the Young Women's Empowerment Network, a dynamic and innovative non-profit leadership development organization serving at-risk, primarily African American and Latina girls, ages 10 to 18 in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC. Walsh also works as the youth ambassador for In a Perfect World which inspires and empowers children to become compassionate, socially conscious and responsible leaders. Another one of her great passions is facilitating equestrian therapy where hospitalized children are provided with the opportunity to ride horses as a mode of physical and mental therapy.
