Huetar People
The Huetar tribe has a population of around 2,600 individuals residing in the pristine mountains of north-central Costa Rica.
Esmeralda is one of the few community members preserving the tradition of Huetar pottery, textiles, and musical instruments, offering classes to those interested.
Our project will develop a premier rescue and education center on Cozumel Island for local apis and stingless Melipona bees. Bees will promote mangrove growth who provide essential nutrients for the famous, but struggling, nearby coral reefs.
Empower special needs students in Cozumel to connect with nature through bee conservation and herb gardening by tending their own hives and gardens at their school. The hives will house the Melipona Beechei, a bee unique to this region who cannot sting and whose honey has amazing health benefits.
For generations, the Maleku tribe in Costa Rica has created medicinal teas harvested from the jungle. We aim to support them in generating commercial teas to supplement their tourist-centric earnings.
The Mexico Healthcare system doesn't cover dental treatments, making even simple checkups unaffordable for many families. We assist with free education, dental products, and follow-up care by local dentists.
