What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The indigenous children of the Colombian Amazon have many obstacles to their education to overcome. The majority of families cannot adequately support their children financially to be able to attend public school. This, in turn, reduces the students' opportunities to find employment or to develop good business opportunities.

If the children can learn to read, write, do mathematics, and to reason well, they will be able to pull themselves out of poverty.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Goals:
1) To support the education of indigenous students of the Colombian Amazon.
2) To help students to learn about sustainable business.
3) To help the students to find employment and to develop sustainable businesses.

Goal 1. We art providing financial assistance (and transportation/buying oversite) to the students of La Libertad, Colombia, Tabatinga, Brazil, and Caballococha, Peru which will allow them to buy uniforms, shoes, school supplies, and personal hygiene items for one year. The students have the option of remaining in the program for additional years if they perform well in school.

Goal 2. We have periodic small workshops to teach age-appropriate activities to teach sustainable business practices.

Goal 3. We offer advice, logistical support, and small amounts of money to help develop small business in the communities we serve.

We connect sponsors in the United States and other developed countries to students in the Amazon. We also build and help the communities to make connections with other NGOs and government organization to provide support.

Our assistance comes from a group of volunteers that administer the organization, fundraise, and directly visit the Colombian Amazon to continue our work.

We currently support 19 students in the Colombian Amazon. We have double our number of students following our program restructure of 2017. We have also built a pier and cement step for the community, built a yuca processing plant, built a guest house and one-room schoolhouse, and help the community to make contacts with other development organizations.

We hope to expand the number of students we serve by at least 10% yearly. We also plan to develop cacao, plantain, and yuca cultivation as a sustainable business.
