Indigenous communities in the amazon continue to experience land, economic and food insecurity

Indigenous women in latin america continue to face great gaps in access to higher education, health services and employment that impede their ability to promote solutions and defend their rights. Fundación renace - red nacional DE acción ecológica (renace) will work with five indigenous women-led community enterprises in the alto beni region to generate income and employment, conserve biodiversity, improve food security and strengthen their ability to defend their rights under bolivian law. The project activities will strengthen and promote the production and marketing of the community enterprises in ECO-tourism, artisan crafts and culture, and agroecological value-added products. By strengthening the community enterprises to operate independently they can better provide services and products for the community, such as providing school breakfasts, providing catering services to local businesses and promote their culture, language and history through ECO-tourism that helps the moseten and the other indigenous communities improve their quality of life and advocate for their rights. Roughly 900 people will benefit directly with another 2,890 indirectly.
