We envision a world where the wisdom of diverse peoples is honored, ecosystems are revitalized, and individuals and communities thrive in harmony with one another and the living Earth—shaping their futures with dignity, responsibility, and care for generations to come.
Our Impact 2025
Your support helped make this possible:
Through Bridgepath, donors helped fund educational and cultural tools identified directly by the community. These included scholarships in web design and digital storytelling, laptops, and a dedicated website and domain for the Organización Wiwa Golkushe Tayrona—creating pathways for visibility, income, and self-representation.
Contributions also provided nutritional support for displaced families, Mamos, Zagas, and students, and enabled community leaders and youth to travel to essential gatherings where ancestral knowledge is shared, decisions are made, and cultural continuity is safeguarded.
Pilot Program with the Wiwa Community
In Wiwa communities, women carry forward ancestral weaving and dyeing practices that embody cultural memory, identity, and relationship to the land—practices that also contribute meaningfully to family and community well-being.
Through the Wiwa Women’s Art Micro-Grants initiative, launched in 2025, Bridgepath walks alongside women as they restore traditional dyeing and fiber-preservation practices and strengthen self-directed economic pathways rooted in cultural continuity. As part of this accompaniment, the women identified specific needs essential to sustaining their work: access to natural fibers and dyes, appropriate tools, and a dignified way to share and sell their mochilas beyond the territory.
In response to these priorities, the initiative has supported access to maguey fiber and natural dye materials, along with the creation of an online platform and domain identified by the women as a needed space to share their artistry and connect with buyers on their own terms. These efforts support the creation of hand-woven Mochilas—living expressions of identity, memory, and territory—while reinforcing women-led livelihoods and a circular, community-centered economy shaped by the women themselves.
