MAMA TIERRA is a Swiss non-profit organization (NPO) that has been supporting indigenous peoples since 2014 in their quest for self-determination, human rights and environmental protection. 600,000 Wayuu inhabit the northernmost tip of South America, in a desertic area called La Guajira, located in both Colombia and Venezuela.
Cultural value
Indigenous peoples should be 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.
Fair trading
Opening trade routes for the Wayuu, taking their crafts to the global market, thereby benefiting indirectly a community of 883 people per month.
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.
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.
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.
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.
