Partner with Yanomami communities to strengthen their capacity to protect their ancestral lands, uphold cultural sovereignty, and shape solutions for a more just and sustainable world.
A future where the Yanomami people can fully exercise autonomy over their affairs, authentically represent themselves, and have the power to determine their paths, whether by integrating into the global community or maintaining their isolation.
Indigenous leadership for a living Amazon
Equipping Yanomami communities with resources, technology, and training to safeguard their homeland and culture.
Microbiome Research
We collaborate with Yanomami communities to study how shifting diets and lifestyles impact their microbiome, a key to understanding health and well-being. This research not only advances global health but also preserves Indigenous knowledge. By integrating Yanomami perspectives into bioethical standards, we safeguard their rights, promote equitable benefit-sharing, and ensure their leadership in shaping research outcomes.
Infrastructure and Communication Systems
We are working to replace diesel generators with solar energy systems, and to install satellite internet at critical monitoring sites across Yanomami territory. These initiatives aim to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, enhance communication networks, strengthen disease surveillance and medical response, and improve vigilance against external threats.
Intercultural Exchange
We support intercultural training projects co-designed with Yanomami communities and local advoacy groups to foster mutual understanding, cultural resilience, and respectful collaboration. These projects aim to strengthen cultural diversity while developing inclusive policies, partnerships, and services that reflect Yanomami priorities, values, and long-term aspirations. By investing in dialogue and education across cultural lines, we help build a more equitable future rooted in Indigenous self-determination and shared responsibility.
