- Rainforest protection: Helping the Amazon recover and flourish while families thrive
Why this makes the perfect gift:
- Ideal for climate heroes and green-fingered people in your life
- Supports communities to live in tune with nature
- Protects our common home and God's creation
- Available as a postal card, eCard, or print-at-home option
- Meaningful gift for birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and special occasions
Real impact in the Colombian Amazon
A rural community in the Colombian Amazon is fighting for their rights, which in turn protects our common home. Orquidea is part of a community project run by CAFOD's local partners who support children in advocating for their human rights and their environment.
The project engages children in learning about plants, their local environment, and ways they can improve their neighbourhood. Through this work, indigenous communities gain the knowledge and skills to protect both their livelihoods and the Amazon rainforest.
"My faith is what helps me and gives me strength and power to get up every day and take care of our common home," Orquidea told us.
Thanks to this gift, we can continue essential work that supports indigenous communities while protecting the Amazon for all of us.
Give the gift of forest school today and help communities protect the Amazon while thriving.
This gift is part of our fund.
