Sponsor a Student

The Sponsor a Student program allows supporters to provide consistent, monthly funding so students can continue their education without leaving home. It exists to keep Achuar children home while they continue their education.

 

By sponsoring a student, you help make it possible for learning to happen within the community—rooted in culture, family, and place.

 

This approach protects:

• Childhood

• Cultural continuity

• Emotional well-being

• Long-term forest stewardship

 

This is education as both care and climate action.

 

What Your $100/Month Supports

 

Your monthly sponsorship helps cover the real costs of community-based education, including:

 

• Instruction and educational facilitation

• Learning materials and supplies

• Connectivity and access to coursework

• Program coordination and student support

• Community-led education infrastructure

 

Every dollar is stewarded with care and guided by the priorities of the Achuar community.

 

Why Monthly Sponsorship Matters

 

Education is not a one-time expense. It requires continuity, stability, and trust.

 

A monthly commitment allows:

 

• Students to learn without disruption

• Families to plan with confidence

• Programs to remain community-led and sustainable

• Long-term outcomes that extend beyond a single school year

​

Your consistency becomes part of a student’s foundation.

 

Who the Students Are

 

The students in this program are children of the forest—raised in deep relationship with land, water, plants, and animals.

 

They are our future:

 

• Stewards of the rainforest

• Cultural carriers

• Community leaders

• Bridges between worlds

 

Sponsorship does not extract stories or images. It honors dignity, consent, and relationship.

 

What Sponsors Receive

 

As a Sponsor a Student supporter, you will receive:

 

• Periodic updates about the program’s progress

• Stories from the community (shared with consent)

• Reflections on how education is strengthening cultural continuity

 

This is a relationship rooted in respect—not obligation.

 

Community-Led, Always

 

This program is guided by the Achuar community of Sharamentsa.

 

Decisions about education, structure, and priorities are made locally, in alignment with cultural values and long-term vision.

​

Our role is to walk alongside—supporting what the community has identified as essential for their children and future.

 

A High-Leverage Act of Care

 

When a child can learn without leaving home:

 

• Families stay whole

• Culture stays alive

• Forests stay standing

 

Your sponsorship is not just supporting a student.

 

It is strengthening a living system at the heart of the Amazon.
