The Yanomami Foundation
Equip Yanomami communities with the tools, resources, and intercultural training necessary to safeguard their way of life and preserve their Amazonian homeland.
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.

Together for the Yanomami
Microbiome Research
We collaborate with Yanomami communities to conduct microbiome research that advances global health and preserves Indigenous knowledge. By integrating Yanomami perspectives into bioethical standards, we help 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 Education
We support intercultural training programs in partnership with Yanomami communities to promote cultural diversity and develop inclusive, equitable partnerships, policies, and services that align with Yanomami needs and aspirations.
