The Witoto Institute works to strengthen the cultural identity, ancestral knowledge, and self-esteem of Indigenous communities. The Institute promotes indigenous education for out-of-school indigenous children through the Jofo Nimairama House of Ancestral Knowledge to strengthen the language, culture and identity of indigenous children. The Institute also manages Ateliê Derequine, a fashion enterprise created by indigenous women who were removed from their territories to be domestic servants and face forced labor.
