Observations
They currently do not have a fundraising campaign, but they are open to receiving contributions. Indigenous communities continue to need support, especially given the flooding that has affected them since January 2021. Tierra Viva accompanied the indigenous communities in filing complaints about the absence of the government, which only arrived five weeks after the quarantine began. They worked in partnership with other organizations to deliver food and hygiene products, and also collaborated with firefighters in Concepción to provide water donations due to the severe drought they were experiencing in the Chaco region.
