Rainforest Flow

Health Starts at Home ?? In Louis Terry, health and wellness are more than just checkups—they are a shared commitment to a stronger future. Through health documentation, parasite and anemia testing, hygiene education, and home wellness visits, the community members are impowered to track their own health progress and that of their families. By equipping families with the knowledge and tools to improve their well-being, we’re not just treating symptoms—we’re building a foundation for long-term health, resilience, and dignity. Clean water is just the beginning. Wellness flows from education, prevention, and the power of community. ???? #HealthForAll #CleanWaterWellness #RainforestFlow #CommunityStrength Maggie McDow

?? On #InternationalWomensDay, we honor Indigenous rainforest women—guardians of tradition, protectors of the Earth, and leaders of future generations. Their strength shows what’s possible when women are supported to lead. Clean water flowing in their communities is our support to the women. ? #RainforestFlow #IWD2025 #WomenWhoInspire ??

Elizabet, of Matsigenka and Huachipari descent, lives in the native community of Huacaria. Though slight in stature, she is mighty in her vision—both for her family of five, ranging from ages 5 to 22, and for her community. For 18 years, she has served as a dedicated water committee member, ensuring access to clean water for those around her. Her home sink, built in 2006 with river stones, remains a testament to her care and resourcefulness. A talented artist, she crafts stunning necklaces, handbags, and baskets using materials from the surrounding forests. Over the years, she has flourished, and we love seeing her thrive—supported by clean water and a home bathroom that keeps her family healthy and happy on their ancestral land. #rainforestflow #IndigenousPeople #cleanwaterforall ??
