📣 Instituto Paiakan and Regenerosity are pleased to announce that interviews with Indigenous Women nominated by local organisations are now open for access to the Brazil 2024 Indigenous Women’s Fund. The selection is made by the Paiakan Institute’s indigenous commission and the project’s coordinators. The 2nd FMIB cycle includes indigenous women from the north-east, south-east and south of Brazil.
The coordination contacts organisations / institutions / associations and/or cooperatives that nominate Brazilian indigenous women working in the north-east, south and south-east of Brazil, along the following lines of action:
- Strengthening the local community
- Education and access
- Territorial protection
- Political organisation
- Combating violence against indigenous women
The winners will receive financial and advisory support to build the Action Plan for their projects, to be realised in 2024. May this new cycle be as strong and powerful as the first! And may it be the first of many!

About The Indigenous Women’s Flow Fund
The Indigenous Women’s Flow Fund empowers indigenous women from diverse ethnicities and regions in Brazil to make a profound impact in their communities.
Thirteen extraordinary women, representing Galibi Kali’na, Karajá, Arapiun, Galibi-Marworno, Kambeba, Wapichana, Tupinambá, Guató, Mebengokre-Kayapó, Kaxinawa-Huni Kui, Tupari, Xerente, and Kadiwéu ethnicities, have been chosen by a commission of esteemed Brazilian organizations and institutions.
Through their visionary projects, these incredible women are working tirelessly to strengthen cultural heritage, address urban challenges, combat violence against indigenous women, tackle indigenous teenage suicide, promote artistic expressions, cultivate medicinal gardens, preserve indigenous singing culture, and create sustainable crafts inspired by nature and their experiences expressed through nature-based materials.
Their chosen themes and ethnicities represent the vibrant diversity of indigenous women’s perspectives and their invaluable contributions to Brazil’s cultural and environmental landscape. As the the Indigenous Women’s Fund moves forward, its commitment remains strong to support projects that embody an indigenous and female gender perspective, fostering sustainable development across all six biomes within the five major regions of Brazil.
