Projects
Our First Project:
Food Security along the Humaitá River
In partnership with Associação Jiboiana
Restoring health, dignity, and self-sufficiency to 640 Huni Kuin people through sustainable farming, fishing, and reforestation.
The Crisis
The Huni Kuin people in the six villages along Brazil's Humaitá River—are facing a food security crisis. Climate change has disrupted traditional hunting and fishing. River pollution has contaminated their water.
Government-supplied processed foods have replaced fresh, traditional diets—creating epidemic malnutrition in children and chronic diseases in adults.
The Huni Kuin have lost their ancestral food sovereignty and become dependent on failing external systems.
The Solution
In partnership with Associação Jiboiana, we're launching a community-led initiative to restore food sovereignty through sustainable infrastructure including:
15 fish farming ponds for clean, renewable protein sources
30 organic gardens with diverse vegetables for nutrition
Processing facilities for yucca flour, corn, beans, rice, and traditional staples
20,000 native tree seedlings for reforestation
The Impact
Circular economy: Villages trade with each other instead of depending on distant, expensive cities
Indigenous autonomy: Restored self-sufficiency and sovereignty
Traditional knowledge: Preservation of ecological wisdom
Biodiversity protection: Reforestation and sustainable practices
Replicable model: A blueprint for vulnerable communities worldwide
