The Amazonian Indigenous Peoples' Health and Wellbeing Initiative will address the unprecedented rise in malaria in Venezuela by facilitating purchase and transportation of mosquito nets impregnated with insecticide, essential medicines, and supplies to three remote Indigenous communities - Joti, Enepa and Piaroa - who have urgently requested these supplies to prevent further spread of malarial infection and catastrophic loss of life. They ask for your aid in their own words in the video above.
Challenge
Joti (Kayama and Iguana), Enepa (Kayama) and Piaroa (Betania de Topocho) Indigenous Venezuelans confront a catastrophic malaria epidemic. Communities are capable: they possess infrastructure and personnel-local medical facility, diagnostic equipment, microscopist, trained nurse, and a medical doctor willing to supervise. There is simply no medicine. They have asked our assistance to address the dire lack of medical and preventative resources needed to effectively protect and cure those affected.
Long-Term Impact
The project will protect and cure 3,000 people, prioritizing elders and children. This will rebuild communities' strong capacity to maintain their wellbeing. Alleviating malaria among Joti, Enepa and Piaroa may well determine their continued existence as peoples. Affected elders are the communities' traditional knowledge-holders, while children carry the hope for continuity of culture, language, place and relationship. For the people to survive, their elders and children must live and thrive.
