Oñoirú hasn't added a story.
The morning of June 21st, 2019, the community of Edelira, in rural
Paraguay, woke to find their small scale, community-run yerba mate
factory in flames. Seven tons of the Paraguayan tea were lost in the
fire, as well as extensive damage to the facilities. No one was hurt,
but the damage done by the fire will be felt deeply by the community.
Founded in 2015, Oñoirú is community-owned, and each of the
community's subsistence producers contribute the plant, and decisons
are made communally. Producing with Oñoirú provides a small income for
its members. Yerba mate tea is consumed extensively throughout
Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay, and southern Brazil. Oñoirú is committed
to protecting Paraguay's rich biodiversity by producing without
pesticides and mixing crops. The loss of the Oñoirú facilities is a
loss for the community economically and culturally. Contributions will
help rebuild the Oñoirú facilities so they can continue to produce the tea.

La mañana del 21 de junio, 2019, la comunidad de Edelira, en la zona rural de Paraguay, amaneció con su yerbatera en llamas. Además de los daños provocados en la infraestructura, se perdieron siete toneladas de producción de yerba mate. Afortunadamente no hubo ningún herido, pero los daños han afectado mucho a la comunidad y la producción.
Fundada en Febrero de 2015, Oñoiru es una asociación comunitaria que
produce yerba mate, conformada por productores que contribuyen con su
cosecha y participan en la toma de decisiones. La venta del producto
proporciona un ingreso para los miembros de la comunidad. Oñoiru está
comprometida con la protección de la biodiversidad del país a través
de un modelo de producción agroecológico, sin agrotóxicos ni
monocultivos. La pérdida de Oñoirú representa una pérdida tanto
cultural como económica para la comunidad.
El dinero recaudado
ayudará a reconstruir las infraestructuras de la asociación para que
pueda continuar produciendo yerba.
