AYNI is one IIW's flagship initiatives. This fund is the only one administered by and for indigenous women. AYNI is a Quechua term that means reciprocity, solidarity and collaboration.
Since 2011, the International Indigenous Women's Forum (IIWF) is administering the Latin America and the Caribbean chapter of the Indigenous Peoples Assistance Facility (IPAF). These three years of hard work have meant to us and to our partner organizations a path of empowerment and growth.
