Supporting the education of Amazonian indigenous youth
The Colombian Amazon has some of the world’s most significant natural resources. But the indigenous people live there in extreme poverty. We believe that through education, they will improve their lives and live sustainably in one of the world’s most beautiful jungles.
Vista Alegre Construction Fund 2025-2026
Amazon Pueblo is excited to announce our expansion to Vista Alegre, Peru! We are building a volunteer guesthouse to support the students and community of Vista Alegre. This will include solar power and shared internet. We are modeling this after the successful work we have done in the Colombian village of La Libertad. During this campaign, we will raise the funds for the final phases of construction. To learn about our work, please visit the following link:

Our Approach
We connect sponsors with students in the Amazon to provide yearly scholarships. The scholarships cover the costs of uniforms, shoes, notebooks, utilities, and personal hygiene items. At times, the sponsors send additional support to help with the dental, medical, or other needs of their students.
We also help people to visit the community and assist with tutoring, enrichment, agriculture, and construction activities.
For the most up-to-date information on what we are doing, please visit our blog (click below) and sign up for our newsletter.
The Three Areas of Our Work
We provide support to students in the Colombia Amazon area:
- 30 yearly scholarships
- Tutoring and enrichment activities when volunteers are available
- Transportation assistance
- Student advocacy
After seeing the great need of dental and health care among our students, we help them to seek treatment.
This is one of the newest offerings of our program. The help is in the form of advice, transportation, or direct money grants from a student’s sponsors for needed care.
A positive, suppportive community is one of the greatest assets to the development of good students. When we can, we seek to assist the community in the areas of transportation, agriculture, health, and infrastructure.
