Who are we?
Our People
We are a Shipibo-Konibo community organization with members from Paoyhan and Paococha (sister communities) in the Amazon of Peru. Our communities lie on the banks of the Ucayali River, around 4 hours downriver from the city of Pucallpa. Our organization has 14 active members, both men and women, from our community. We also have outsider advisors on our team who help with fundraising, organizing, and website administration.
