Village Earth : Sustainability Through Empowerment (Fort Collins, CO, USA)

Village Earth was founded on the belief that poverty is not the problem, but rather, merely a symptom of the larger problem of individuals and communities becoming disconnected from the resources that contribute to human well-being. We believe that the real challenge that we face as a global community is how everyone can have access to the resources needed to live well without compromising the ability of others and future generations to do the same.

Village Earth is a federation of associations and supports several associations active in Pine Ridge Reservation : Lakota Buffalo Caretaker Cooperative & Lakota Lands Recovery Project :
