Pachamama

Fundación Pachamama has 20 years of experience working hand-in-hand with the indigenous nations in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Our mission is to promote an alternative and innovative development model based on Well-being or sumak kawsay, with emphasis on recognizing and respecting human rights and the rights of nature, to generate the necessary conditions for the nationalities and first peoples of the Amazon, just like other social groups in Andean countries and Amazonian watersheds, strengthen their autonomy, self-determination, territorial defense and ways of life. Pachamama’s work has been based on strengthening indigenous organizations, conserving and titling ancestral lands, promoting alternative development models and management plans for sustainable use of natural resources and guaranteeing rights of indigenous peoples.
