Story

Indigenous women from Oaxaca seek to guarantee their right to a proper health program during this pandemic. You can make it possible for 90 women to become health promoters through a training program which allows them to elaborate their own herbal medicines and medicinal bed gardens to build a community health center. Which will utilize ancestral knowledge-techniques practiced by grandmothers and natural healers to attend physical, mental and emotional family health.

Impact

Thanks to your donation we can continue preparing community promoters which recover and conserve local medicinal plants. Generate community healing spaces through gardens considered green pharmacies. We seek to prepare a total of 90 health promoters in the region to elaborate their own herbal medicines, create community apothecaries, materialize local medicinal plants prescriptions, revitalize ancestral knowledge and exchange learning with other promoters of other regions and states.

Challenge

This pandemic and the precarious health system has deeply affected indigenous community's health. With no supplies and no specialized personnel the need to care for their sick from home has risen. With medicinal plants, herbalism and meals, women have built their own sort of ancestral knowledge pharmacy since they've become their family primary care takers. Death rates due to COVID-19 have risen in Zapotec communities. This affects their family's mental, emotional and physical health.
