Our programmes cover a wide variety of themes that are prioritised depending on the specific regional context and the needs that are voiced by the communities.
The project Synodal route: participation and empowerment of Amazonian indigenous women in Puerto Maldonado, Pucallpa, Jaen, and Lima is an example of how our partners work hand in hand with communities to increase their reach and confidence in civic spaces.

Why this project
Our partner, CAAAP, has been working in the Peruvian Amazon since 1974, with a strong focus on intercultural understanding, sustainable development, and peace. More recently, with CAFOD’s support, they have been building on the commitments made at the Amazon Synod by working with women from different indigenous peoples such as the Shipibo, Awajun, and Harakbut.
In this short proposal, you can get a sense of how CAAAP places the needs and expectations of indigenous women at the centre of their activities:
