Feeling the necessity to take the future of our community in our own hands, The Mulokot Foundation was founded in April 2018 by the Paramount Chief of the Wayana community, Ipomadi Pelenapin.

The goals of the foundation are to bring sustainable development to the Wayana community by capacity building, developing management skills, managing projects in the community, providing training, and advocacy. The foundation is the legal and the executive branch of the village leaders.

We advise and coordinate projects and plans for the development of the Wayana communities. The foundation coordinates the collaboration with the government and with NGOs, and also maintains a network of specialists in and outside Suriname.
