Double Your Dollar for Education in the Amazon!

By Paul Roberts | Director of Intercultural Education

Shipibo Young People at School

Dear Friend of the Amazon,

I would like to invite you to participate a unique opportunity to have a huge impact in the lives of indigenous youth in the Amazon: all new & recurring donations made to our project before midnight on Wednesday, September 10th will be matched!

Indigenous youth in the Shipibo communities we work with have a constant need for support to continue their educations. Our program combines the best of traditional wisdom with modern knowledge to help these young people strengthen their cultural identities while increasing their access to education and sustainable livelihoods in the future.

Double your impact today by supporting culturally-relevant edication initiatives for indigenous youth in the Amazon!

With your help we will:

strengthen cultural identity and empower youth with innovative education programs in schools and communities
teach traditional agriculture and forestry practices to provide regeneratively grown and nutrient rich food to students
revitalize knowledge about medicinal plants, art, music and dance
work with young women and girls to raise self-esteem and teach about women's health
give university scholarships to indigenous young people

You can make this, and much more, possible by becoming a recurring collaborator with this project today and making your impact count two-fold! Make sure you select "monthly recurring" when you make your donation, as only these will be doubled by a generous supporter.

Why wait?! Share this opportunity with your networks now!

In Solidarity,

Paul & the Alianza Arkana team
