El Diviso —
The Power of Belief
Status: Active
Location: Colombian Amazon, near the Ecuadorian border
Campaign #1 of 5 | TerraKeepers Sovereignty Projects
Overview
El Diviso is a Cofán Indigenous village in the Colombian Amazon, near the Ecuadorian border. For decades, this region has been heavily impacted by armed conflict, including the Drug Wars, paramilitary presence, and guerrilla activity. The community was forcibly displaced from their ancestral lands.
Now, they’ve returned—and are rebuilding from the ground up.
The community has been holding onto a vision: to create a future where their children can thrive, where their autonomy is restored, and where their sacred medicine altar remains alive for generations to come.
This is where TerraKeepers began. We walk alongside them, step-by-step, to turn that vision into reality— with trust, transparency, and shared responsibility.
Why El Diviso
El Diviso is the first of five villages in our foundational sovereignty blueprint. We chose this village not only for the urgency of its needs, but because of the clarity of vision and deep leadership shown by its people.
Our goal is to implement a full sovereignty model—clean water, sustainable construction, regenerative food systems, and decentralized tools—and then document and refine it into a replicable framework for other communities.

Why This Matters
This is more than infrastructure. It’s about restoring trust, rebuilding autonomy, and reigniting the power of belief in a place where it was once lost.
El Diviso is the beginning.
When belief returns, initiative follows. When resources meet readiness, transformation begins.
This is the first living proof of what TerraKeepers stands for.
