Thank you for your support towards protecting the Amazon and empowering local organizations. Your contribution has been instrumental in advancing efforts to safeguard this vital ecosystem and strengthen the communities that depend on it.
Local organizations are at the forefront of conserving the Amazon and promoting sustainable livelihoods. They possess invaluable knowledge of the region and maintain deep-rooted relationships with communities, enabling effective and culturally appropriate initiatives. By supporting these groups, your donation is fostering impactful solutions tailored to the Amazon’s unique challenges.
Navegam
Born in practice within a boarding, Navegam began with the aim of digitizing the sale of tickets in river transport, a market that was previously completely manual in the Amazon. The company moved quickly, not only facilitating the purchase of tickets, but also improving vessel capacity control.
Coafra
Coafra, a cooperative from Castanhal, Pará, operates in 11 municipalities in its region selling agricultural and fruit inputs. The sale of inputs to the 230 cooperative members takes place at lower prices than those practiced in the market, with flexible payment options. The purchase of production is concluded at a value higher than what the market pays. The presence of the cooperative contributes to the preservation of an area of 830 hectares of local biome.
Cacauway
Cacauway has a factory that produces a hundred products made with fine chocolate – some of which have won international awards. With native cocoa purchased from 40 members, the business has a history of paying cocoa collector members between 20% and 60% above market prices.
We would not be able to transform so many realities and lives without the support of our donors. You are a part of this transformation!
