Our Goal

Our projects aim to awaken solidarity to life, seeing the Earth as a living organism, without borders or divisions. That is why they are concentrated in different areas but with a great common base: sowing the consciousness of Life, of Pachamama.

Thus, according to these principles, we seek to work with:

• prioritizing life;

• the differences that complement each other;

• understanding that we are nature;

• defense of identities;

• knowing how to eat, drink, dance, work;

• strengthening family farming and protecting seeds;

• live well, not better;

• recover Nature;

• exercise sovereignty.
