Help Nukanti build communities in 2024!

Nukanti means ‘us’ in the Inga language of Colombia´s Amazonía region. Since 2009 we have worked to strengthen the social fabric in communities affected by conflict and poverty, using the arts & media, sports, and education to engage and empower young people. But no one can build an ‘us’ alone, so this is the time of year when we rely on friends like you!

For 2024 we’ve set an ambitious goal to help youth build their healthy communities.

How you can help?

Empowering young people is at the heart of everything we do at the Nukanti Foundation. Your generous contribution can make a real difference in their lives. Here are a few ways you can help:
