There are many places in the world where Indigenous Peoples do not have access to basic needs and services. In such contexts, even the smallest assistance can make a big difference in the lives of community members. That is the case of Itaparana village in the state of Amazonas in Brazil, during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic when a Keepers of the Earth Fund grant supported Colevtivo Mura’s efforts to build a community house to ensure the basic protection of a safe home for community members during the pandemic.
