Building bridges to the Amazon.
We unite native communities, businesses and governments to build a Peru that cares for its rainforest and its people.
Three paths, one bridge
Preserve the Amazon
We protect biodiversity and the ways of life of native Amazonian communities.
Develop young leaders
Through our Citizenship & Youth Leadership program we shape the next generation of positive change.
Connect allies
We connect businesses and governments with real, sustainable solutions for the Amazon.
Tendiendo Puentes exists to unite what Peru needs to bring together.
We are a non-profit organization based in Lima that builds bridges between native Amazonian communities, businesses and governments —national, regional and provincial— always prioritizing the preservation of the Amazon and its diversity.
We believe in development that begins with the person and is built with others. That is why we accompany communities and train new generations to become leaders of positive change for Peru.
