Solar energy for indigenous women

Give indigenous women access to solar energy!
With this project we support the Wayuu indigenous people in La Guajira. This place is located in the north of South America between Colombia and Venezuela. Unfortunately, these indigenous people do not lead an idyllic life there, as it is often romantically portrayed, but they fight for their existence.

Soap workshops

Mama Tierra offers soap making workshops to women, as regular hand washing with soap is one of the most effective precautionary measures against diarrhea diseases.

Keeping crafts alive

Mama Tierra opens trade routes for the Wayuu, taking their crafts to the global market. As a result, a community of 833 people are indirectly benefiting from our work. Indigenous peoples are thus able to earn a living in their own cultural context rather than working in mines, factories or households in the city, not to mention smuggling.
