Education that Transforms: A Bright Future for the Kichwa Community and Its Surroundings
Education is the foundation of sustainable development in any community, but in the Ecuadorian Amazon, access to quality educational resources presents significant challenges. The region’s geographical remoteness, lack of infrastructure, and scarcity of school materials make learning opportunities difficult for children and young people.
The Sacha Muskuy Foundation works to bridge this gap by providing educational programs that strengthen the community’s knowledge while respecting its cultural identity. We believe in the power of education to transform lives and ensure a brighter future for the next generations.
We seek to ensure access to quality education, tailored to the needs of the Kichwa Añangu Community.
Exclusive scholarships for the community's youth
Daily meals for students
Boat transportation for children and youth
Thanks to our education program, we have achieved significant progress in the community:
- Over 90% of children in the community now have access to primary education.
- More than 100 adults trained in literacy and entrepreneurship.
- Revitalization of the Kichwa language, now incorporated into educational curricula.
