About Us
Our Mission
Discipling generations of indigenous youth in the areas of spiritual life, Christian character, academic training, work skills, and theological-missionary training, so that they can serve God in the Amazon and to the ends of the earth.

Education
We provide access to educational tools that strengthen academic knowledge and the holistic development of indigenous youth in the Amazon.
Working Skills
We train youth in practical and vocational skills that enable them to earn sustainable incomes and contribute to the well-being of their communities.
Community Development
We promote collaborative projects that foster leadership, solidarity, and collective growth within indigenous communities.
Our Story
Nanki Tsakari-Punta de Lanza was born from an evaluation conducted at the annual conference of the churches planted in the interior of the Amazon in 2017. We discovered that our churches had children, adults, and elderly people, but no young people. In January 2018, the project was written, and mobilization efforts began in 2019. By the grace of God, resources were obtained for the land, and during the pandemic of 2020, construction work began. Self-sustaining projects were developed: a pig pen for fattening, a shed for chickens, a pond for breeding tilapia, etc. These projects aim to generate food for the participants and possible additional income from personal care and education products.
Due to the wickedness of man in June 2021, illegal mining diverted the river that was more than a kilometer away and in 10 days destroyed everything that had been built. It was devastating. Those were very hard and painful days, but God strengthened us and guided our steps to continue the project by leasing in a neighboring camp of our town. Today we continue with the expectation of being able to settle on the land we have and thus fully develop God's purpose.

"I believe in the transformative power of faith and education because I have experienced it firsthand. This mission stems from a deep desire to see a generation of young Indigenous people walk with purpose, dignity, and hope."
