About Us

The mission of the Highland Support Project is to innovate transformational models of development that break cycles of dependency. We engage in long-term accompaniment that supports Highland indigenous communities of the Americas to live on their land, in their community, and with their culture. Highland Support Project's participatory model of long-term transformational development works within indigenous pueblos (villages) to foster agency by organizing communities, providing educational opportunities, and supporting social entrepreneurs to create change from within. We understand poverty as a process rather than a state of being. A process can be associated with a place, but if you change a certain process, you will see different results.
