For those whose livelihoods depend on the Amazon, deforestation seems like the only option, as cattle farming and agriculture are familiar but environmentally devastating choices.
What if their livelihoods depended on a thriving forest?
Here, Omama steps in — providing dignified employment linked to the health of the forest, transforming it into a valued resource for its guardians. Omama is cultivating a new legacy where sustainable living is the norm, not the exception.

In the heart of the Amazon where unemployment looms at 20%, we're forging a path to a brighter tomorrow by launching a training center that nurtures local talent into skilled artisans.
Omama empowers local men and women by equipping them with the skills to transform wood waste into valuable assets, fostering both individual and community economic progress.
However, our dedication extends far beyond providing jobs; it's about cultivating an environment where community, livelihood, and sustainability grow together.
