Our Projects

Flamingos

Protecting flamingos

Mama Tierra is rescueing flamingos in one of Venezuela's most important coastal lagoons. The swamp "Los Olivitos" is the habitat, shelter and nesting area of ​​the largest population of flamingos in the Caribbean. In 1996, it was declared a Ramsar area. So a wetland of international importance because of its biodiversity.

Solar energy for indigenous women

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

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

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.

  • The mosaico tropic bag is one of the most sophisticated patterns found in all Mama Tierra’s collection bags. Also @vogueitalia appreciates it since the publication featured the mosaic tropic bag in their February issue! This design was actually created by talented desigual designer Coral Hermandez @uncoralrojo. It makes reference to the vast wild life of the Caribbean, especially to Venezuela where the Caribbean flamingo 🦩 breeds 80% of its population. But it’s also connected to the cosmovision of wayuu indigenous, where birds play an important role. In their oral myths it’s believed that all humans where in a remote time once birds. You can buy this gorgeous one of a kind bag on our webshop! We need our community more than ever so that Mama Tierra can exist also in the future. Since we are not a business Mama Tierra is not applicant for loans and during this time entirely dependent on we sales and donations. foto by @lexanderchacin #mamatierra #ngo #❤️ #changemaker #sustainablefashion #empoweringwomen #beatpoverty  #fairfashion #slowfashion #socialproject #fightingpoverty #sustainablefashion #boho #bohostyle #challengefashion #ethicalliving #fashionanthropology #instafashion #sustainablestyle #ethicallymade #shopsmall #vegan #sfashion #accessories #ethicalclothing #greenfashion #veganfashion #FACESSTYLE #suppprtsmalllabels #supportsmall

  • Our organisation empowers indigenous women by producing, distributing and researching about their crafts, aiming to support their financial independence. Indigenous women inspired us: They earn the family’s living, bring up the children, struggle for the preservation of the nature and pass on the indigenous heritage. The strategic focus is on women because they are the strongest link in many indigenous societies, but this is particularly true in the Wayuu culture, as they have a matrilineal kinship structure.
