Our communities are located in La Guajira, Colombia (South America) in the northern peninsula of the country. La Guajira is known for its desert terrain and the extreme hardships found in the territory due to lack of basic needs for its people. 

NuevaLife has established partnerships with eleven indigenous communities of the Wayuu ethnicity that are found around the city of Riohacha, Colombia in the territories of Mayapo, Cucurumana, and Via Valledupar. 

Rich in culture and rituals the Wayuu people have worked hard to maintain and pass these teachings to the new generations. The grand majority live off the handicrafts they make such as bags, hammocks, and hats. However, they face daily challenges to meet their basic needs such as water access, energy, nutrition, and have a great need to improve access to education and animal care to name a few. NuevaLife seeks to work with its communities to aid these needs.
