Amazon Pueblo Reducing poverty through the education of indigenous youth of the Colombian and Peruvian Amazon. La Libertad was founded 20 years ago by 10 small families.

Now the village numbers a little under 400, of which about 170 are below the age of 18. While some new families have arrived, the majority of new people are due to a high birth and low death rate. The problems facing the village are water contamination, poor waste disposal, land erosion, primitive farming techniques, lack of dependable energy, grossly inadequate employment, and limited educational opportunities. In brief, the people of the village are not living sustainably. The project’s main goal is to help the villagers to live sustainably, by providing support in the areas of health, education, and business.
