Our Work
Over the last 16 years, the YACHANA FOUNDATION (formally FUNEDESIN) has generated and invested approximately 5.2 million dollars in the Ecuadorian Amazon. This investment of time and resources has underwritten many triumphs, some of which you can read about in these pages. We are truly an integrated development organization involved in many different aspects all designed to improve the lives of the people and protect the environment. We use an unusual development model of non-profit / for-profit where the Foundation owns two for- profit companies, Yachana Lodge and Yachana Gourmet. We are involved in Geotourism, education, agriculture, health, income generation and technical assistance.
