February 2025, TOMA Trip Report: Rio Don Diego

Magdalena, Colombia

The objective of our February 2025 trip to the Sierra was to install two solar systems in the communities of Jiwa and Seykwanamake. The team arrived in Santa Marta and travelled by 4x4, raft, and trail to the villages. The mamos of the community blessed the trip and thanked the team for improving their medical infrastructure.

Looking forward

As TOMA prepares to commemorate 30 years of work in Latin America, our focus is on completing vaccine refrigeration projects in the Sierra in late 2025 and early 2026. The following is our planned budget for the TOMA30 Arhuaco Vaccine project.

Villages requiring vaccine refrigeration: $27,500

Seynurwa, Bunkwamake, Umake, and Gunmaku

Villages requiring solar systems: $37,000

Durankwa, Guamuni, Jwinaruwun, and Gunmaku

Travel and supplies for the team: $10,000

Total: $75,000

As always, the communities of the Sierra Nevada and TOMA Foundation thank you for your support. Your continued generosity makes this work possible.
