Earth Rising’s $20,000 Grant Fuels Our Regenerative Agriculture Vision

It is with immense joy and a heart full of gratitude that I share a milestone achievement for our beloved Amarun Pakcha. We have been awarded a generous grant of $20,000 by Earth Rising, a visionary organization committed to fostering environmental stewardship and sustainable practices across the globe. This grant is a testament to the potential impact of our Regenerative Agriculture Program and the collective efforts of our dedicated team, our partners, and our community.

Regenerative agriculture is at the core of our mission to harmonize ecological restoration with community development. It’s about nurturing the land that sustains us, restoring its vitality, and ensuring it can support future generations. It’s about returning to our roots. This approach goes beyond sustainable farming; it actively improves the ecosystem, rebuilding organic matter and fostering biodiversity, all while honoring the ancient Chakra farming system of the Amazonian Kichwa.

The Earth Rising grant empowers us to expand our initiatives, providing resources to educate, innovate and implement regenerative practices within our community. This funding will support a range of activities, including:

• Soil Health Improvement: Enhancing the fertility and structure of our soil, ensuring it can retain water and nutrients, and sequester carbon, thereby combating climate change.
• Biodiversity Enhancement: Introducing and protecting native plant species that support a wide range of wildlife, enhancing the ecological balance of our farms. This will be a boon for the birds!
• Community Education and Engagement: Hosting workshops and training sessions for local farmers and community members, spreading knowledge about regenerative techniques and their benefits.
• Innovation and Experimentation: Testing new regenerative practices that can be adapted to our unique environment, ensuring the resilience and productivity of our land.

Thank you, Earth Rising!

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Earth Rising for their faith in our mission and their support of our endeavors. I also want to thank every member of the Amarun Pakcha team, our volunteers, and our supporters for their relentless dedication and hard work. This achievement belongs to all of us.

In this spirit of shared dreams and collective endeavor, we extend a heartfelt invitation to support our cause further. Your donations will fuel our journey toward a regenerative future, where every seed sown is a testament to our commitment to the earth and its stewards.
