Thanks. We source it at the local hardware shop in the nearest village about 2 hrs away. Right now the whole project is funded by our visionary partners and investors, as they improve and grow their bamboo processing skills they will be able to sell and run their operations with the income generated by themselves. We don’t aim for perfection we are providing opportunities and building an infrastructure that supports the community in the most efficient and sustainable manner. For sure it is much better than living in poverty and broken infrastructure, or building with cement and metal.

Trying to save the forest without backing the people who’ve guarded it since forever is just a cute bandaid. Real protection means resources, respect and sovereignty straight to the original keepers.

Wow, that's beautiful to here about the Britton language! Unfortunately, right now, Spanish is the language the children speak. Only a few elders are keeping the Kofán language alive in the community right now.
