Who they are
The Kaiwá, an Indigenous people belonging to the wider Guarani family, live mainly in the central and southern regions of South America, with a substantial presence in Brazil. They keep their ancestral language alive and preserve a strong sense of belonging and communal spirituality.
Their historical identity is deeply tied to the land and kinship bonds. They face major social challenges while also experiencing vibrant growth in the Christian faith in many of their villages.
