Survival International

Charity Registration No. 267444

"Survival helps tribal peoples to defend their lives, protect their lands and determine their own futures.

Founded in 1969 in response to the secret genocide of Amazonian Indians, Survival is the only international organization supporting tribal peoples worldwide. We do not accept funding from any national government.

Today, Survival has supporters in 82 countries. We work for tribal peoples’ rights in three complementary ways: education, advocacy and campaigns. We also offer tribal people themselves a platform to address the world. We work closely with local indigenous organizations, and focus on tribal peoples who have the most to lose, usually those most recently in contact with the outside world.

We believe that public opinion is the most effective force for change. Its power will make it harder, and eventually impossible, for governments and companies to oppress tribal peoples.

Visit www.survivalinternational.org to find out more."

My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I have decided to run all 10 miles of the Great South Run for the charity Survival International. My visit to Ecuador's Amazon Jungle last October, where I met the Huaorani community of Quehueri'ono has had a lasting effect and Survival International help tribal people worldwide, including the Huaorani, through campaigns, education and advocacy. The main threat to tribal people's is loss of land, which I witnessed first hand in Ecuador and which is why this cause is important to me.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Survival International gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
