“In my work with the Wichana Foundation,  I am inspired and energized by the leadership and commitment of the local leaders of our partner projects.  In addition to the more immediate deliverables of our projects, we are building community leadership capacity that makes our Foundation’s work sustainable.”

Peter Bernstein, President of Wichana Foundation

“Wichana inspires me to continue fighting to defend and empower the work of indigenous peoples, women and health. These are the pillars of my development as a professional and as a member of Kinray Hub/Kallamp, which is why by meeting Wichana I have been able to work in a complementary way on the proposed projects. Wichana's impact on indigenous communities is profound."

Dr. Kaya Alta, Kinray Hub leader and Wichana Board Member
