Garifuna Nation Re-Building:
Self-sustainability is central to the Garifuna belief system, both as a collective and as a people, and is paramount to the continued cultural survival of the Garifuna. We are supporting the Garifuna across five countries in Central America in their Nation Re-Building efforts. We are helping them rebuild localized food security and economic development opportunities with a focus on regenerative agriculture, natural healing remedies and superfood products for the healing and wellbeing of the Garifuna people and society at large.
