The Yanomami people of Brazil remain relatively isolated, living in communities deep in the forests of the northern Amazon. In 1992, the Brazilian government recognized their lands designated a 37,000 square-mile territory. Despite their remoteness and the success they enjoyed in having their lands recognized, the Yanomami continue to face pressure from ranchers, gold miners and others and lack quality healthcare.

Our project is an innovative training program designed to prepare a group of young Yanomami leaders to be effective advocates for their people and effective leaders of their new organization, the Hutukara Yanomami Association. We support hands-on training for the next generation of Yanomami leaders in advocacy, administration and financial management - all critical skills they will need to protect their lands and rights in the future.
