What does Living Bridges Foundation do?

We connect NGOs with indigenous community projects that educate people in traditional wisdom and improve their community.

Since our founding in 1995 we have completed projects that brought potable water to a Q'eros community of villages in the high Andes, funded cultural heritage workshops in the Manu Biosphere, connected California students with Q'eros school children, supported and carried on the teaching of Don Alejandro, brought traditional Shamans from Peru to the United States, connected California and Q'eros classrooms, raised funds for the building of the bi-lingual private school in the village of Charqapata, Q’eros village, Peru (plus supporting its functioning for three years), and created a traditional medical garden and cultural center at Centro Wanamey in Peru. We presented at the ProCultura Foundation’s Medicine of the Americas Conference 2003 in Washington, D.C.

Ongoing projects include the Amazanga Sustainable Community Project of Ecuador; Huachiperi Cultural Heritage, Education and Preservation Project; and Wiñaypaq School in Peru.
