Infierno infrastructure
Status:
current 
In 2009 our work in Supporting Indigenous Wisdom focuses on the creation of infrastructure at the home and health clinic of one of the Tambopata region's most revered healers. The construction of additional lodging space for patients and visitors helps support the millenia-old tradition practiced by the herbal healers of the Amazon, in this case in the native community of Infierno.
Two buildings have been designed and construction is underway. These buildings will allow for the treatment of additional patients in comfort and with privacy. All construction will be carried out by local contractors at fair rates, and labor and funding are being matched by the healer who is the project´s primary beneficiary. Check back here for news and updates on this project.
