WHAT WE BELIEVE
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Indigenous Peoples are not powerless or void entities. They possess a set of traditional knowledge and education system that are passed down from the elders to the younger generations. It has been proven that the Indigenous Peoples have been living sustaisdnably and sufficiently for hundreds of years by relying on that traditional knowledge.
On the other side, they recently need new knowledge to cope with changes (modernity) that are encroaching their living space.
SOKOLA develops education program to help Indigenous Peoples coping with changes, so they could live the life they prefer.
