Clean water, flowing to millions.
A trinational network protecting South America’s second-largest forest.
Latin American recyclers, finally recognized as workers.
Waste recovered by the ton, emissions kept out of the air.
All of these transformations began with collaboration. And you can join the next one.
For over 30 years, Fundación Avina has brought together people, communities, and partner organizations to take on Latin America’s hardest challenges — together.
Your support keeps that work moving.
The climate crisis, deep inequality, fragile democracies — these are too big for any single organization, government, or company to fix alone. What’s usually missing isn’t money or ideas. It’s collaboration. For more than 30 years, we’ve driven collaboration to connect those gaps and create impact.
This is what collaboration builds
A Trinational Chaco
Across the second-largest continuous forest in South America — stretching through Paraguay, Argentina, and Bolivia — we helped build a cross-border network, now more than 45 partners strong, bringing water access, connectivity, and women’s leadership to communities that had never worked around a shared agenda before.
Inclusive Recycling
We brought waste-pickers, major corporations, and governments to the same table — helping thousands of informal recyclers win recognition, better income and working conditions, and a real voice in global decisions. Along the way, they recovered thousands of tons of waste and prevented polluting emissions, proving that triple impact — economic, social, and environmental — is possible.
Be part of the next transformation
Our work plays out over years. That’s why the most powerful way to help is a monthly gift — it lets us commit to collaborations that take time to deliver.
