Sponsor a Campaign

Becoming a Sponsor for a Campaign means that you are helping to make someone else’s dream come true. With the economical decline due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, all Indigenous Communities are continuously affected financially and are in need of Community support at this time. It truly does take a village.

While the communities are enduring the continuation of the pandemic, they are gathering resources to build and/or renovate their homes in hopes of improving their home and community life amidst the uncertain circumstances.

Once you support a current campaign, you will be added to a unique mailing list with updates + opportunities to continue connecting with each specific family and campaign with aim of creating a more intimate community worldwide. You will receive project reports in the future, as well as discounts for upcoming offerings + programs.

Thank you for your genuine contribution. We could not do this without each other and it means the world to the families.

BUYING LAND TO GROW A LARGER CHAKRA (GARDEN)
+ ARTESANIA TALLER (STUDIO)

Pampamisayoc Tomas is currently seeking to buy land beside his family’s home in the province of Paucartambo so that they can have a larger space to grow their Chakra garden. Given the continued circumstances of economic decline due to lack of tourism caused by the pandemic, the income Tomas and his family receive for their ceremonial and artesania work is very low. They live off of what they can grow in their small homestead chakra including Corn and Potato which each harvest lasts approx 1 week for their family of 7 - his wife, 3 children and his mother and father. While they have now adapted to buying common needs for food including rice, vegetables and fruit, they are devoted to maintaining their traditions alive by growing their own food and eating traditionally as their descendants did. The current chakra will then become a space built as an Artesania Taller (studio) for Lucia to have a dedicated place for crafting and for passing on the knowledge to her daughters.

We ask for your financial support in the restoration and reinforcement of their family’s health and traditional lifeways. More information →

craft preservation + MILPA planting for WixarikA Family

Vicky has been praying to fund her community in Wirikuta with chaquira beads so they may continue to create their traditional jewelry adornment. She envisions to build a hut for a dedicated place in their village to begin teaching the young girls how to bead jewelry and educating them about their culture.

They are also hoping to purchase a Calf for an offering to the Milpa (corn + bean fields). The plagues are impacting the soil heavily and the plants are not growing well. More information →
