Amazon Bridge is an evoluton from Tendiendo Puentes, an organization who quietly supported native communities in the Peruvian Amazon over the past ten years. The team traveled to remote villages and delivering essential supplies such as food, construction materials, medicines, books, laptops, and clothing. This hands-on experience revealed a crucial insight: while these contributions provided relief, a sustainable, scalable approach was needed to create lasting impact.

Amazon Bridge was inspired from these Tendiendo Puentes successes. It is is a multi-phase initiative that connects donors directly to Indigenous communities in the Peruvian Amazon to fund clean water systems, sanitation, preventive health, education, digital connection and value chains development. It’s not a legal entity, but a project brand that unites technical experts, implementation partners, and donors under one shared plan.

Amazon Bridge does not handle donations directly. All contributions flow through our trusted network of partner NGOs, each with a distinct role:

• Earth & Being (USA): Fiscal sponsor enabling U.S. donors to contribute with full tax-deductible benefits.

• Tierra y Ser (Peru): Receives and administers funds transferred from Earth & Being and Coprodeli, and delivers the core social solutions directly in the communities.

Through Amazon Bridge, these NGOs are supported by a network of other solution providers—technical and logistical, — ensuring that resources are mobilized efficiently and that projects achieve measurable, sustainable outcomes.

Clean water is the foundation of health and development. In affected communities, unsafe drinking water leads to diarrheal disease, malnutrition, and repeated school absences—especially among children under five. Delivering reliable, safe water quickly reduces illness generated by waterborne pathogens and creates the conditions for education, sanitation, and economic programs to succeed.

The Awaken are among the largest indigenous groups in the Peruvian Amazon and include many highly remote communities with urgent needs and limited access to public services. Starting here lets us demonstrate a replicable, culturally respectful model in places where the impact can be measured and scaled.

Amazon Bridge is not a one-off distribution. It uses a phased, community-led approach: sustainable technical systems + social adoption work + capacity building + monitoring. Trained local leaders manage operations, and the model is designed for long-term self-reliance—not temporary fixes.
