About this fundraiser: 

We are holding a fundraiser to support the installation of a sustainable water system at Yorenka Tasorentsi. This system will integrate all the piping of the sustainable fishing ponds and septic tanks, preventing flooding and ensuring reliable access to clean water. By contributing to this cause, you can help us create a more sustainable and resilient community that prioritizes the health of Yorenka's ecosystem and the well-being of the Ashaninka people. This system will also ensure that clean drinking water will be abundant and plentiful for the community, which is essential for maintaining good health and well-being. Thank you for your support.

Planting on the three adjacent lands which have been acquired with the support of Boa, it uses ancient and current techniques of agroforestry to obtain the highest rate of biodiversity, with a consortium of hundreds of trees. Seeding change one seed at a time, the institute is equally an educational center and a place set part for people to reconnect with nature, spirituality, and a healthy life.
