In Panama we’ve worked closely with the Noble Bugle tribe, an indigenous tribe totaling 200,000 individuals, to develop sustainable projects to increase their quality of life and various business ventures. Currently we are implementing a means to process their rice granules themselves using a diesel powered machine known as a “Pilladora.” This is only one of a multi-pronged approach to helping this tribe however. At the same time we are also working with Panamanian officials to help certify their rice as organic, while developing a water filtration system for their crop that can sustain ponds of fish for consumption.
