Rainforest Rescue Fund was organized to provide assistance to indigenous communities in Peru and Brazil. The Fund will provide infrastructure to tribal communities by funding new water wells and solar technology, and will offer legal assistance in obtaining deeds and rights to tribal lands. It will also award scholarships and other educational opportunities to the children of indigenous communities as well as maintain a reserve fund to be used in disaster relief situations in the Rainforest.

Rainforest Rescue Fund has given solar powered lanterns, and replaced the solar panels and battery for the solar short wave radio at the village of Porvenir. It gifted the village of Puerto Firmesa with a four-ton wooden boat and motor.


The Fund has provided scholarships and clothing so teenagers from the tribal communities could attend school in Pulcallpa, Peru. Most recently, it has engaged engineers and lawyers to fight loggers who are trying to take the rights to tribal land along the Rio Ucayalli.
