Fundacion Nativo is a non-profit organization, located in Caracas (Venezuela), which is dedicated to the socioeconomic and sustainable development of indigenous communities, without having to damage their environment or abandon their cultural or religious beliefs. Always favoring gender equality and integration of different sexual options. Vision: A world in which there is no inequality between the indigenous population and the rest of society. Where the native population is not considered as animals, pets or the disposable object of the fashion of the moment. Mission: Empower indigenous communities by promoting the conservation of their culture, defending the right to land and the preservation of their natural resources, promoting sustainable economic development in gender equality and sexual orientation, favoring access to communication channels to leave the information isolation and giving them a voice before the institutions to demand their rights and denounce the abuses to which they are subjects of. Our history: In 2014, investigating for a documentary, we made a stop in the mining area of Las Claritas. There we went to a brothel where a bingo was being held. The place was full of miners attentive to the draw, something that surprised us because bingo always seemed an activity for older people ... Until we saw the prize ... depending on the sexual orientation of the miner, the prize was a child or Indigenous girl no older than 10 years old, who waited to meet the owner of their destination inside a hole dug in the floor of the premises. When you see something like this with your own eyes, it is impossible to remain indifferent to the problem. We realized that, in this market of basic instincts, we could do little to diminish the demand (the illegal miners come from many countries and for them the Indians are less than animals), but we could have some possibility of diminishing the offer if we helped the development of indigenous communities. And that's how the Fundacion Nativa was born.

Over 18,000 children and youth in B.C. are diagnosed with a Learning Disability. With few resources in the school system to support them they are being left behind. By definition children with learning challenges are of average or above average intelligence but blocks in one or more areas of the brain mean they have challenges understanding and using language and their ability to receive, process, recall or communicate information is affected. Learning challenges can lead to social anxiety, low self-esteem and many other challenges. Together we can help. LDAV offers remedial teaching that builds confidence by helping children understand their unique strengths and teaches them strategies and skills for overcoming their challenges. Armed with these tools children can advocate for themselves in school and access the education that will allow them to achieve their dreams. Every child has the right to learn and the power to achieve. Help us make this a reality today.
