social exclusion and discrimination they felt due to the fact that they were women, poor, and indigenous people. The society has a variety of projects which work to preserve the Rarámuri culture and improve their lives by developing women as leaders, educating their communities, and raising money.

◊ School project: Biniwami Rarámuri Niwara (The Lesson is Ours) is the first nationally recognized indigenous school established in Mexico. This community elementary school teaches all basic subjects as well as Rarámuri language, culture and traditions.
◊ Crafts Store project: Two cooperative stores run and staffed by Rarámuri women where they sell their handmade crafts. All items are made in the traditional ways.
◊ Community store project: Two community stores where staple food items are sold. The objective is to bring affordable food items into their community.
◊ Literacy project for women: “From woman to woman we learn more.” A group of educated Rarámuri women teach young and old women to read and write. They also teach general health, reproductive health, and domestic violence prevention. Kari Rarámuri believes in kórima (sharing) with this first nation.
