WHAT IS EPICA?
Will you join us in supporting our Indigenous sisters and brothers and preserving the last unharmed reaches of the Amazon?
OUR VISION
We envision a world in which our interdependence on the planet and fellow humans is an understood reality, and where those who defend the Earth are not doing so at the expense of their own opportunity to live fulfilling, thriving lives. Our first project is rooted in “Ayamprumati Chicham,” Achuar for “Language as a Weapon [to defend ourselves].”
MEET THE ACHUAR
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to support the indigenous communities of the Amazon rainforest in learning and teaching themselves English so they can thrive in an increasingly globalized world and continue to protect the Amazon for all humanity. Our English educational programs support educational, ecotouristic, and economic opportunities for the Achuar and, in turn, introduce our English-speaking volunteers to the culture and world-vision of our indigenous partners.
