Our Projects 

In the heart of our community, some elderly women have spent a lifetime nurturing families, yet now find themselves alone without a support system. These resilient grandmothers, often living in isolation, struggle to meet even the most basic of needs. Our project aims to extend a helping hand to these unsung heroes. We believe that every elderly woman should have access to a plate of nourishing food each day and essential groceries to sustain them. Through this initiative, we strive to ensure that these grandmothers are not forgotten, that their daily sustenance is secured, and that they experience the care and dignity they truly deserve. Join us in making a difference in the lives of these remarkable women, providing them with the comfort and support they need in their golden years. Together, we can create a brighter and more compassionate future for all.

Throughout history, indigenous communities in the Amazon have faced two major challenges: colonization and destructive farming. Using single-crop farming, cutting down forests, and chemicals have led to a massive loss of 85 million hectares of Amazonian forest.

One place where this is happening is the Sibundoy Valley. Here, most of the land (83.8%) is used for raising livestock, and only a tiny 3% is set aside for protecting the environment. This has changed the local ecosystems and how people live.

We aim to improve things at OIOC (Regenerating Ancestral Land, Wisdom & Culture). We're working to bring back the native forests through reforestation and revive old-fashioned ways of organic farming known as the Traditional Jajañ Chagra. This way, we want to honor the wisdom of our ancestors and protect our natural world.

Securing Shelter for Sibundoy’s 40 most vulnerable Kamëntšá families. Rebuilding homes for Sibundoy’s 40 most vulnerable families will ensure that no Kamëntšá child lacks a dignified roof over their head. Your donation will fund community-led efforts to secure the basic human right to adequate shelter.

Poverty and the basic needs of 40 families in our Kamentsa community are a stark reality. Harsh colds, rains, and floods affect children, women, men, and the elderly. Since the onset of the pandemic, we have rebuilt eight homes with the generous support of the CSN organization from the United States and individuals who have rallied behind this noble cause. Yet, more families are still yearning for a dignified roof over their heads. We humbly implore you to stand with us in support of this endeavor.

Reviving Ancestral Art program is a tribute to the resilience and wisdom of indigenous cultures. By nurturing the artistic talents of our children, we safeguard their cultural memory, promote healing, and empower them to be strong advocates for their heritage. Together, we can ensure that the flame of indigenous culture burns brightly for generations to come.

Join us on this inspiring journey towards memory, healing, and empowerment.

With the Moschikma Oico after-school program, we aim to create an artistic space for the children of the Kamentsa indigenous community, where they can engage in ancient artistic practices that help them connect with their indigenous essence, their land, and the memories encoded in their genes. This initiative continues our commitment to strengthening Indigenous Self-Education, a mission led by the Indigenous authorities of Sibundoy.
