About Sacha Wasi Tribal Learning Center 

Sacha Wasi Tribal Learning Center is an indigenous school in the Ecuadorian rainforests of the Amazon, created for indigenous students, (both young and old).  Its main task is to create culturally appropriate and relevant courses, producing indigenous students with knowledge and skills that are still rooted in their own Kichwa culture.

Sacha Wasi Jungle Medicine Clinic 

The development of the Sacha Wasi Jungle Medicine Clinic arose from mainstream health services being unable to adequately meet the needs of the indigenous community and from indigenous people often being excluded and marginalized from mainstream health services.

Part of the solution has been to establish a small team of qualified, experienced GPs, medical staff and allied health professionals and indigenous healers, to assure that guests and families at Sacha Wasi receive the quality medical care they need and deserve.
