VISION
Based on the knowledge and the values of the native peoples of our Abya Yala (Earth in Full Maturity), we believe that there is one life at the same time in many forms.
Human beings are a thread in the fabric of life as are plants, animals and bacteria. We have to protect this life as a whole since within the origin of infectious diseases and antibacterial resistance is the rupture of this delicate and fascinating equilibrium.
MISSION
That current and future generations should have access to effective prevention and treatment of bacterial infections as part of their right to health.
ACTIVITIES
- We promote social, political and environmental awareness about the origins of antibacterial resistance and infectious diseases.
- We promote the prevention of infectious diseases and effective treatment through research, education and communication.
- We build processes of discussion about the problem of antibacterial resistance based on the participation of communities.
-
We work with communities, health professionals, social organizations and academic centres all over Latin America.
