The Koguis
The community of Guanamake was resettled 27 years ago, as part of a land restitution process.
In a new territory, in The Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, Colombia, they chose cacao as a path—without ever having cultivated it for generations.
Without machines. Without chemicals. Just their hands, intention, and memory.
How We Work
Listening
Honest and deep dialogue to understand the territory, its knowledge, needs, and real opportunities for transformation.
Co-creation
We co-create infrastructure, and audiovisual narratives that reflect their identity and strengthen their path toward justice and dignity.
Impact
Social, cultural, and environmental results that help the community become self-managed and truly sustainable over time.
Antonio Dingula
23 years old, trained in advanced cacao transformation.
He now leads the process—with the support of his community and the formal backing of the traditional authorities—to build a path toward self-sufficiency, justice, and dignity for all.
His role is not personal or commercial, but part of a collective vision to strengthen the community through cacao.
“We want to create an association that protects our people from abusive intermediaries.”
What We Do
Water Access
We support sustainable access to clean water through ancestral technologies, including a ram pump system powered without electricity.
Community Infrastructure
We co-develop essential infrastructure and provide tools to improve cacao cultivation, processing, and long-term community resilience.
Fair Trade Commitment
We guarantee direct, fair prices for Kogui cacao, reinvesting in the territory and valuing traditional knowledge over exploitation.
Presentto Future
We've taken the first steps: harvests, tools, savings, and shared work.
It's just the beginning—what's coming goes deeper and strengthens our shared path.
