Who We Are

Since 2016, through sustainable and innovative solutions, Fundación Raíz – CAEMBA has promoted the well-being and the improvement of the quality of life of people affected by natural disasters and conditions of extreme poverty and vulnerability.

We build resilient, healthy and prosperous communities through our programs: CAEMBA and Indigenous Peoples.

Project CAEMBA

We build dreams.

By building and providing bamboo houses we transform the lives of families living in poverty and vulnerability.

Quality of life improves and healthy, prosperous, safe and resilient societies develop when decent housing is provided.

Our
Mission

With optimism and dedication we work to improve the quality of life for vulnerable human groups through the promotion of education and sports, the construction of bamboo houses and community centers, and preserving cultural identities and the environment.

We know how to do it. With your help we accomplish our mission.
