What began as a grassroots initiative has grown into a powerful movement, providing life changing support to Indigenous communities.

I'm Patricia Velásquez, a Humanitarian and Transformational Speaker.

Growing up, I witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by my communities. Access to water, education, and healthcare was never guaranteed.

That experience shaped my mission: to break cycles of poverty and provide sustainable solutions for those who need it most.

Today, The Wayuu Taya Foundation has impacted over one million lives. 

My life's work is dedicated to empowering communities, preserving their dignity, and ensuring they have the tools to thrive.

I carried water up fifteen flights of stairs for my family, but today I carry hope and opportunity for thousands. My mission is clear - to create real change that lasts, one community at a time.

CREATE REAL CHANGE THAT LASTS.

CREATE REAL CHANGE THAT LASTS.
