How you help

The Tandana Foundation is not about “helping the poor” or imposing a developmentalist worldview or any particular religion. Rather, our goal is to create and nurture real and responsible relationships among people of different cultures. Giving and receiving are inherent parts of those relationships, and contributing to community initiatives is a great way to make friends. We come to learn and to share.

About us

The Tandana Foundation is a non-profit organization that offers intercultural volunteer experiences, scholarships, and support for community initiatives in highland Ecuador and Mali’s Dogon Country. Its volunteer programs provide visitors to Ecuador or Mali the unique opportunity to be guests rather than tourists, to form intercultural friendships, to participate in a rich indigenous culture, and to make a difference in the lives of new friends.
