New Hope Project: Empowering the Guardians of the Amazon

The New Hope Project is a transformative initiative led by Iskukua Yawanawá in partnership with the CTR Foundation, designed to empower Indigenous peoples of the Amazon, starting with the Yawanawá Nation. Focused on preserving culture, promoting independence, and protecting natural habitats, the project combines technology, sustainability, and deep respect for ancestral traditions.

The first major milestone of the project was the implementation of clean and renewable energy in the Nova Esperança (New Hope) Village. Through the distribution of solar kits, the entire community gained access to electricity, marking a turning point in their quality of life.

This solution enabled evening classes, proper food storage, and significant improvements to the villagers' daily lives, providing greater comfort, safety, and opportunities.
