Frequently asked questions
Amazon Bridge 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.
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 Jivaros 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.
