Elders’ Fund
Honoring Elders, Restoring Dignity
At the core of our focus this year is caring for our elders. We are supporting various Grandfathers and Grandmothers to improve their quality of life so that they are able to continue sharing their wisdom and teachings with the world. Through initiatives like building safe homes, providing medical care, and various cultural infrastructure projects, we honor their journeys and ensure that their voices — and the ancestral knowledge they carry — continue to thrive for generations to come.
This are three of the TEN ELDERS we are honored to support this year:
One of the last living elders and guardians of the Cofen tradition, Taita Ediberto is a masterful healer and grandfather who has spent his entire life in service to the healing of humanity.
Yet his living conditions are inhumane.
Last year we helped build him a better house. This year, we are continuing with various renovations, improving his access to clean water, buying him new appliances such as a refrigerator, and installing some solar panels so that he can have internet (he lives 3 hours away from the closest town by boat and it is important in case of an emergency that he is able to call for help quickly).
Taita Ediberto
Abuelo Albertino has been a tremendous source of spiritual strength and healing to Taita Juanito and to our entire community.
This year, we are building a safe, accessible home for Taita Albertino.
This project will provide this 80 year old wisdom carrier with a culturally respectful, fully adapted rural home, ensuring he has access to basic services, medical care, and a dignified quality of life. With a 98m² design including accessible rooms, a safe bathroom, and natural ventilation, the home represents not just shelter — but respect, protection, and belonging.
Abuelo Albertino Descanse
Our beloved Grandmother from the Huitoto Tribe, Abuela Muydokuri is a beacon of strength for hundreds of women.
She is a traditional midwife, healer, and lineage carrier.
We are still investigating how we can best support her, but we would like to offer her some sort of economic aid this year to further her ability to serve both the people of her territory as well as women from our community and other parts of the world.

Planting magic
Our reforesting and replanting project to date.
In 2024, we purchased 50 hectares of land in Putumayo, in the Colombian Amazon, as part of our land stewardship and medicinal plant preservation initiatives.
This project, called “Planting Magic” is a multi-faceted, long-term vision through which we plan to fulfill various important elements of our foundation’s mission.
The 2026 Health Brigades and Elders Suport are not totally funded.
We strongly invite you to support the Emergency Relief Fund or any other active initiative at Magic Fund in need of your generosity.
In the remote territories of Colombia, Indigenous communities are often left without access to critical services — abandoned in times of urgent need by the systems meant to protect them. Magic Fund’s Emergency Relief Fund exists to bridge that gap, providing rapid, life-saving support when emergencies threaten the survival of Indigenous individuals and families.
Through this fund, we respond to urgent crises — from medical emergencies and housing insecurity to situations requiring immediate humanitarian aid. Our focus is to uphold the dignity and sovereignty of Indigenous peoples by ensuring they receive the care and support they are too often denied.
We have been supporting José Arley Garreta Macuace for a couple of years, a young Indigenous man who, after a devastating motorcycle accident, was left critically injured without access to specialized medical care. Thanks to the Emergency Relief Fund, José is receiving the medical attention, rehabilitation, and support necessary for his recovery. The support that José needs is extensive, including ongoing clinical evaluations, hospitalization, follow-ups, medications, nutrition, basic living needs, physical therapy, and psychological support. We are accompanying him in restoring hope for his future.
Every contribution to the Emergency Relief Fund directly supports Indigenous lives, honoring their resilience and standing in solidarity where governments have failed. Direct donations to our Emergency Fund mean we can tend to more of the dozens of applications we receive each year.

Economic Sovereignty Fund
The Economic Sovereignty Fund is a vital initiative that supports entrepreneurial projects and regenerative economic development within Indigenous communities of the Colombian Amazon.
By funding various grassroots projects each year, this fund empowers communities to reclaim autonomy over their livelihoods, preserve ancestral knowledge, and create sustainable income streams rooted in cultural heritage.
Economic empowerment in these territories means more than financial stability—it represents resilience, dignity, and the ability to thrive without dependence on external systems that have historically marginalized them. Through this fund, we help seed long-term solutions that honor tradition while building pathways toward collective sovereignty and self-determination.
Currently, we are proudly supporting the Siona Association of Women in their cane sugar production business venture. We have one or two very special projects in the pipeline for the remainder of 2024.
The Siona Association of Women is a collective dedicated to preserving ancestral farming traditions and revitalizing their cultural heritage through the production of cane sugar and botanical products such as natural shampoos, soaps, and essences made from medicinal plants. Their work also includes seed preservation and the integration of traditional weaving and ancestral art techniques.
Since its inception with 18 members, the association has grown to include over 50 Siona women, reflecting the growing momentum of this grassroots initiative. Since 2024, they expanded their sugarcane cultivation with the goal of producing and commercializing panela, a traditional form of raw cane sugar.
Under the spiritual guidance of Taita Pedro and his wife Angie, the women continue to build a model of self-sustaining economic development rooted in cultural identity. To scale their impact, they are seeking financial support to acquire processing equipment, secure licenses for their botanical product line, and further expand their reach. We are proud to support this powerful movement toward economic sovereignty within the Siona Nation.
