Landesa

About

Landesa is an international non-governmental organization that fights rural poverty and provides opportunity and security for women and men through the power of land rights, headquartered here in Seattle, Washington since 1981.  

We are honored to have assisted 720 million people in just the past five years on a path toward equitable and secure land rights. These rights lay the groundwork for women advocating for gender justice, Indigenous Peoples protecting their forests and cultures, and coastal communities mitigating and adapting to climate change. We are proud to see the paths that open when land rights are secure. 

Landesa’s name links the ideals of “land” and “destiny.” We invite you to GiveBIG and make a donation today in support of those destinies, built from the ground up through strong and inclusive land rights.
