OUR VISION

Empowering the future of the Amazon rainforest through:

Our mission is to provide language and sports education to children living in the Amazon rainforest, while also working on projects that promote reforestation, combat erosion as well as implementing solar- and wind-based power supply in order to create a sustainable future for the communities and their environment.

Additionally, we seek to protect the unique and diverse wildlife of the Amazon by actively working towards preserving their habitats and raising awareness about the importance of conservation. To achieve our goals, we are working closely together with native people onsite who are supporting our vision, helping us to understand the problems and solving them together.

At the end – a recovered piece of nature and a well informed new generation will make a difference.

6 days no energy – 6 days no water supply – 231111

In Amazonas, Sao Joao RDS Tupe, we’ve been without power and drinking water supply for six days now and still no energy in sight. Our 2000-liter water reservoir is empty. Now, Umussy and I have to trek 2.5 km through the desert to fetch drinking water from a tiny spring and get gasoline for the generator. Great. We’re dealing with a century’s worst drought and unprecedented smog. Supply routes are cut off since weeks, and people are desperately digging for water in the Amazon rainforest. In Sao Gabriel de Cachoeira, a city of 50,000 people, the fuel supply for the
