World Wide Awakening Initiative

Bridgepath Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to support marginalized territories and communities, in creating, nurturing, and maintaining their sovereignty and holistic well-being. Through grants, technical assistance, and human development processes, we contribute to strengthening individual and collective happiness, respecting their worldview and self-determination.

Our vision is to create a rich tapestry of wisdom from the world's peoples and cultures which contributes to individual, collective, and human health, as well as to the preservation of life on Earth. Communities, collectives, families, and individuals recognize the profound connection between human well-being, community action, and the health of the planet, whereby they grow and develop in oneness with the Whole in a way that is consistent with their worldview and generate their own resilient and sustainable responses based on their life plan for living with dignity.

Pilot Program with the Wiwa Community

In the heart of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, our foundation has launched a pilot program that honors the self-determination and ancestral wisdom of the Wiwa people. This work focuses on three fundamental pillars that directly respond to their priority needs: combating childhood malnutrition, supporting access to education based on cultural identity, and promoting women's economic sovereignty through productive microprojects. Each of these initiatives is born from dialogue with the community and seeks to strengthen lives with dignity, autonomy, and collective purpose. Additionally, due to the urgent and immediate need of a displaced families with young children, we seek to raise emergency funds for their relocation.

  • The "Chickens and Eggs to Nourish Us" initiative is designed to support 40 Wiwa families on their journey toward better nutrition, health, and stability. Each family receives free-range chickens—natural, non-genetically modified—and support in establishing a productive plot: a small, self-sufficient garden that feeds both the family and the chickens.

  • Wiwa Children's Learning In the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta fund will enable 200 Wiwa students with essential school supplies, including clothing that reflects their ancestral culture, we not only help them attend classes, but also preserve their identity and strengthen their pride in who they are. Without these they may simply stay at home.

  • Women's Microprojects: In Wiwa communities, women are guardians of ancestral knowledge and pillars of the family economy. This initiative provides seed funds to women so they can grow, harvest, and transform natural threads into hand-woven backpacks: works of art with identity and history, generating sustainable income for their families and strengthen a circular economy.

🌿 Our Impact

During 2024, at the Bridgepath Foundation, we supported and strengthened cultural and spiritual processes in Indigenous territories with members of the Muisca community and Fundacion Ingibia in Cundinamarca, Colombia, with concrete actions that honor ancestral wisdom and promote community sovereignty and protection.

Below are some of our collaborations

  • Bridgepath Foundation awarded a grant to the Chytazhua Ancestral Reserve in the Chitasugá area of ​​Tenjo, Colombia, to repair the roofs of two sacred buildings: the Cusmuy, the women's house, and the Chunsua, the traditional men's house, which serve as teaching and gathering spaces.

  • We are proud to support the Ingibia Foundation in the second Kachylas Festival: Andean Festival of the Golden Seeds. This ancestral gathering brought together seed keepers and Indigenous communities from eight countries to celebrate biodiversity, food sovereignty, and the living memory of our peoples.

  • We joined forces with Ingibia Foundation, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage of Tenjo, Colombia and the Vigia del Patrimonio Cultural and held a cultural and environmental roundtable so as to raise awareness about of the risks and and ways to protect the sacred Cerro de Juaica.

  • In collaboration with the Tenjo Cultural Center and the Ingibia Foundation, we awarded a grant to members of the Muisca community of Cundinamarca to revitalize their cultural memory through the ancestral art of basketry. The materials were collected in the Chytazhua Ancestral Reserve.
