The Atlantic forests play a crucial role in the biodiversity and climate of the region and of our planet. The Mbyá’s entire existence revolves around the forest, and the way they treat it is highly sustainable. However, for quite a while now, the indigenous people have been driven out of the forest by large landowners. Your donation will help repurchase the forest, so that it stays in the Mbyá’s safe hands.

Get out of misery thanks to a carpenter training after Swiss-model. This is the goal of the project-responsible organization Gira Solidário, which offers each year up to 15 young people from the favelas a chance to overcome poorness. An apprenticeship requires CHF 5'000.- per year and person. With this crowd-funding project we would like to be able to finance up to two apprenticeships for one year.

In short This project supports the Wayuu, an indigenous community in Columbia. We aim to provide at least 100 households with solar lamps and solar panels. We focus on women, since they are the care taker in this indigenous society. Women are key This project focuses on Wayuu women, because they are the main providers for their families, they raise the children, and take care of the environment. Wayuu society is matrilineal, which means that duties, responsibilities and possessions are inherited following the female lineage. Plea At Mama Tierra, we need your support to help us turn the wish of the Wayuu, to have light and electricity, into reality: to have access to basic comfort thanks to electricity. Our goal is to provide a hundred households with power produced by solar panels. The more money we can raise, the more families we can reach and help. In exchange for your support we offer attractive goodies. Thank you very much for your support and helping us to bring light into darkness.

Hi there, Thank you for taking your time to listen to my story. My name is Karin and that's my son Elias. I'm very sick. I have an Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), it is incurable and results in a relatively short time to death, usually within 3-5 years. 2,5 years ago I was on Hawaii, Big Island. That was the best time of my life, because this place is in my soul, the people I got to know there, the nature, the swimming with the wild dolphins and the whole way of life. The high energy of this Island brought me to my own inner beauty, to happiness, holistic and peace. I do not have much time and my dearest wish is to once again be able to experience Hawaii, preferably with my son Elias, because I need support, I am weak and can not walk well and our common time is limited... The illness broke out before 2 years and I'm unable to work since half an year and therefore I have no money to fulfill this deep desire. That's why I am in need of your support and maybe like that I will still be able to reach my last wish. I thank you for reading, for your interest and maybe for your help! THANK YOU! Love and blessings for you!
