Fundación Cotococha is assembling and testing a prototype of an affordable solar-powered canoe and recharging station for the Curaray river in the Ecuadorian Amazon, home to Indigenous Waorani communities. This model of low-cost solar-powered canoe, which would provide a sustainable alternative to polluting gas-powered canoes, was co-designed in 2022 through a collaboration between Kichwa-led Fundacion Cotococha (Iyarina Center for Learning), Arizona State University, Universidad San Francisco de Quito, and two Waorani communities. Their goal is to eventually deploy the canoes across the Ecuadorian Amazon, revolutionizing how these riverine communities meet their mobility needs.
