SUPPORT OUR WORK
Since 2001, the Leda Settlement has annually welcomed international teams of volunteers to the Chaco region of Paraguay to experience firsthand the wonders of this unique region. These volunteers have contributed much to local indigenous communities, as well as gaining insight into the work being done on the settlement. Recently the settlement has hosted Pathways to a Sustainable Future Project (PSFP) with the cooperation of the Universal Peace Federation (UPF). These services and education programs are aimed at building a growing awareness of the issues surrounding sustainable development. Joining a project is one way to get involved.
Extended Visits: Individuals and small teams of people have spent extended periods of time at the Leda Settlement to learn and to serve. Some have focused on learning and contributing in the areas of agriculture, aquaculture, eco-tourism, education, health service and sustainability.
Be part of the Team: Annual membership is one way to become involved and informed about the work being done at the Leda Settlement. Membership forms are located on our membership page. Members will receive a monthly newsletter and updates about our activities and projects.
DONATE
With your donations we can continue to fund projects and realize our goals in the Chaco region
The Leda Settlement is in the state of Alto Paraguay, one of the poorest areas in the region. It is amazing how much $50 can do to make the life of school children better. Last summer, we received donations that allowed us to have 20 school desks, each costing $15, made for the children in Esperanza. This year some children are still bringing their furniture from home so they can sit in their classroom. In villages where electricity and running water are lacking and a two-hour boat ride is needed to access the nearest clinic, so much can be done with your help.
Donations made through the website will be used largely to expand the work that volunteer teams are doing in various indigenous villages near the Leda Settlement. Our volunteers are paying to offer their skills and labor but they can use your help. Please be a part of the good work being done by donating once or even regularly at our website. As you know, the more you can help, the more it helps. All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible.
Please provide your information and your donation by using the form at the bottom of this page.
