The Wayuu Women’s Network and University of Zulia Indigenous Children’s Education Project – Venezuela

In 1985 the Wayuu Women’s Network established a partnership with the University of Zulia to address a growing concern over the acculturation of Wayuu children, loss of language, culture, and religion, and an ensuing breakdown of family and community protection of children.

The project was initiated by Noeli Pocaterra, founder of the Wayuu Women’s Network, and vice-president of the Venezuelan National Assembly.
