Social Impact:
10% to the Rainforest

Transforming Lives and Empowering Communities

At Amazonian SkinFood, we passionately believe in the power of community and our unwavering dedication to making a significant, positive impact within the Amazon Rainforest. Our social impact initiatives extend far beyond providing high-quality skincare products; they are focused on fostering a sustainable rainforest economy, transforming lives, and inspiring indigenous communities to envision and achieve a brighter future.

We recognize that the struggle of indigenous people is a collective responsibility, and we are committed to contributing in every way we can. To honor this commitment, we devote 10% of our profits to support various projects in the Amazon Rainforest that uplift indigenous communities. We believe that focusing our resources on one specific village right now will yield the most meaningful benefits. As we grow, we intend to expand our reach and support numerous other incredible initiatives throughout the Amazon. Our greatest motivation lies in cultivating a culture of forest preservation, strengthening ancestral traditions, and promoting the socio-economic autonomy of the indigenous people.

Together, we can create a meaningful impact and transform the lives of the Ni Yuxibu community. Ni Yuxibu is a Huni Kuin village led by the spiritual leader Txana Ixan and it’s located on the banks of the Tarauacá River - state of Acre - in the middle of the Amazon Forest and covers a protected area of legal Amazon (15,000 Hectares)

By supporting Amazonian SkinFood and our products, you're contributing to a brighter future for these families. Every purchase makes a difference.

A Journey to Remember: Celebrating Progress and Building Connections

In February of 2023 we had the incredible opportunity to travel to the Amazon Rainforest and visit the Ni Yuxibu village to celebrate the opening of the school we helped fund. This unforgettable journey allowed us to:

🎉 Witness firsthand the impact of our efforts on the community
🤝 Connect with the villagers and learn about their lives and needs
🌿 Explore the rich biodiversity of the Amazon Rainforest

This experience was invaluable in deepening our understanding of the challenges faced by indigenous communities and identifying ways we can make a positive impact in their lives for years to come. By immersing ourselves in their world, we're better equipped to tailor our projects to their unique needs and aspirations.

Last Year's Success: Building a School

In the past year, we successfully raised $3,100 USD (R$15,500) to help build a school in the Amazon Rainforest.

Now operational, this school is:
🏫 Educating over 60 students
📚 Teaching Portuguese, English, and Math
🌱 Preserving Huni Kuin traditions for the next generation

🙏🏾 With our contribution and the donation of dozens of people and organizations, in 2022 an important step was taken for the development of the Ni Yuxibu village community and for the strengthening of the Huni Kuin legacy for humanity: The first stage of the implementation of the Keneya School was completed.

This Year's Mission: Clean Water for 250 Indigenous

This is a truly momentous occasion for us at Amazonian SkinFood: we have just successfully raised all the funds required for our water well project in the Ni Yuxibu community.

This ambitious project aims to provide clean, high-quality water to each and every household in the community, empowering them to overcome numerous obstacles and fostering a brighter future.

We are thrilled to report that we have just made a donation of $3,100, completing our fundraising goal for this initiative. To date, Amazonian SkinFood has raised a total of $6,250 USD (R$31,250) for this project.

This incredible milestone is a testament to the generosity of our supporters and our unwavering commitment to making a significant, lasting impact in the Amazon Rainforest communities.

The construction of the well is set to commence shortly. A reputable company with extensive experience in Amazon Wells has been contracted to carry out this project. They will oversee all aspects of the project, including drilling, the installation of a solar pump kit, the erection of the tower, and all logistics.We can't wait to see the transformative impact that this project will have on the Ni Yuxibu village and we're incredibly grateful for all the support we've received so far.

Here's to providing clean water, improving lives, and continuing to make strides in our mission of sustainable and responsible beauty.

The current well - only goes 3 meters down, causing it to dry up quickly, and during summer months it goes completely dry. They go back to drink polluted river water. Due to not having drinking water, the quality of life has dropped. During our last visit, it was reported that 50% of the kids have chronic diarrhea

This vital initiative will:
💧 Provide clean, safe drinking water for 200 residents
🏡 Elevate living standards and transform lives
💪 Empower the community to overcome obstacles

Next Year's Vision: Sustainable Protein for a Healthier Community

As we look forward to next year, Amazonian SkinFood is excited to announce our upcoming project aimed at enhancing the nutritional well-being of the Ni Yuxibu community. Addressing the current lack of protein in their diets, we're committed to providing a sustainable and eco-friendly solution: community fish tanks.

Currently, the community relies heavily on bananas, peanuts, corn, and cassava as staple foods. By introducing fish farming, we can support a more balanced diet and a healthier lifestyle.

Fish farm tanks can bring numerous benefits to indigenous communities in the Amazon Rainforest:

🐟 Introduce a reliable source of protein into their diets
🌱 Promote sustainable and environmentally-friendly farming practices
💪 Improve overall health and well-being for the Ni Yuxibu residents
🏡 Create income-generating opportunities for community members
