RAIN was privileged to present our projects and the wonder of mycelial networks to Reset Connect at ExCel for London Climate Action Week.

Our partners in the Terena media collective introduce the Indigenous photographic exhibition at the University of Mato Grosso do Sul.

This equipment will serve as tools of the Indigenous struggle, with members of the Terena media collective sending out their voices and images as a form of Indigenous resistance.

As the Brazilian government was voting on a new law to open up Indigenous territories to mining and other extractive industries, thousands of people representing nearly all of the contacted tribes made camp in Brasília.

The most successful regeneration projects are led by Indigenous people, and many groups have special, even spiritual relationships with certain tree species that can rapidly regenerate their ancestral lands. Learn more about RAIN partnerships with Indigenous nations for reforestation.

Agroecology in urban slums and refugee camps is a viable way to help displaced people help themselves to survive, and even to start creating a future for themselves and their families. Our partners in the Brazilian favela have passed on what they have learned to a Kenyan refugee camp.

Our partners in northeast Brazil ran a fundraising campaign to expand their work from one favela into nine. Not only did they meet their target - they smashed it!

RAIN began as a thought on the banks of a dried-up stream in Minas Gerais, and took form over lunch with our bold and bearded friend Márcio.

Márcio phoned Mariana in Recife, Mariana talked to Ravi, and together with a team of students they built a geodesic agroforestry nursery at Professor Cândido Duarte Middle School. Amrou in London loved the idea, and he put up the funds.

Mariana set up a centre demonstrating the techniques with a black women’s group from the community of Passarinho. It works. People who were hungry have grown their own food, and medicine as well.
