Chaco Vivo is committed to creating lasting change by empowering communities through education and economic opportunities. The project’s dual focus on enhancing educational access and improving incomes is central to its mission of fostering sustainable development in the Gran Chaco region. By equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive, Chaco Vivo is helping to build a future where both people and the environment can prosper.
Education is the foundation of progress, and Chaco Vivo is dedicated to improving access to quality education for all, particularly in underserved and Indigenous communities. The project’s educational initiatives are designed to empower individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to create better futures for themselves and their families.
Chaco Vivo has significantly expanded educational opportunities in the region by supporting local schools, providing scholarships, and organizing vocational training programs. These efforts have directly benefited over 446 individuals, with a particular emphasis on women and girls, who have historically had less access to education in the region
Beyond traditional education, Chaco Vivo offers vocational training programs that equip individuals with practical skills in areas such as carpentry, sustainable agriculture, and small business management. These programs are tailored to meet the local economy’s needs, ensuring that participants can apply their new skills to generate income and improve their livelihoods.

Chaco Vivo recognizes the importance of gender equality and has made a concerted effort to involve women and girls in its educational initiatives. By providing training and leadership opportunities specifically for women, the project is helping to break down barriers and create more equitable communities.
Economic empowerment is critical to Chaco Vivo’s strategy to improve community well-being. By creating jobs, supporting entrepreneurship, and enhancing agricultural productivity, the project is helping to lift families out of poverty and create sustainable livelihoods.

Chaco Vivo’s approach to education and economic empowerment is holistic, recognizing that these elements are deeply interconnected. By providing education directly linked to economic opportunities, the project ensures that individuals can apply what they learn in ways that immediately benefit their lives and communities.
At the heart of Chaco Vivo is a deep commitment to the Indigenous communities that have called the Gran Chaco home for centuries. These communities, including the Maskoi, are integral to the success of Chaco Vivo’s conservation efforts. The project works to protect the natural landscape and empower these communities, ensuring they benefit from sustainable development while preserving their cultural identity.
The Indigenous communities of Paraguay, particularly those in the Gran Chaco, face significant challenges. These include limited access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities and the loss of traditional lands due to deforestation and land-use changes. Many Indigenous people live in extreme poverty, and their rights to land and resources are often overlooked. Furthermore, environmental degradation, exacerbated by climate change, directly threatens their way of life, making these communities particularly vulnerable
Chaco Vivo works with 14 Indigenous communities within its Area of Influence (AOI) to improve livelihoods, strengthen cultural heritage, and protect the environment. The Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) protocol is central to this partnership, ensuring that Indigenous voices are heard and actively incorporated into all project decisions. By adhering to this globally recognized standard, Chaco Vivo guarantees that the communities are fully informed and voluntarily consent to any activities that affect their lands or livelihoods
