Your donation helps to preserve nearly 100 hectares of primary jungle, protecting wildlife, providing opportunity to local communities, and creating space for people to heal and thrive. This will be the home for our center, which has been in development for nearly one and a half years. It is quite an expensive endeavor to build a healing center in a remote area of the jungle, but we believe it is well worth the effort and your support will help us achieve our goals.
To be specific we are asking for help to finance:
- 1 Maloka 11m with 3 bathrooms for 20 people: $18,000 – The maloka is nearly complete! We need an additional $5,000 to finish the walls and screens.
- 10 tambos, each for two guests: $60,000 – We have 5 tambo bases in process! We need an additional $50,000 to complete the process.
- 1 Kitchen and group dining area: $10,000 – The kitchen is partially complete! We need an additional $7,000 to refurbish with floors, screens, and better appliances and to furnish the dining area.
- Road maintenance and gravel: $5,000 – We have created a dirt road and had it re-flattened since we purchased the land one and a half years ago, but we have not been able to gravel it to prevent the rain from doing continuous damage. We would like to gravel it so it will last longer and we can travel to and from the land more easily. Without the road, the journey is 1-2 hours walking on a challenging trail which is limiting for some guests, and it makes it more challenging to bring supplies.
- Salary for workers: $10,000 plus $TBD - 5 people worked for 10 months during the pandemic clearing the space and starting the building. We now have about 15 people working who need support for ongoing salary, accommodation, and supplies.
- 2 Water tanks and 1 well: $11,500. 2 Furgón Vehicles, one for cargo and one for passengers: $8,000.
We are very grateful for your consideration!
