We stand in partnership with Indigenous communities, supporting their self-determination through funding initiatives they design and lead. We complement this direct support with strategic advocacy and build lasting networks that honor and amplify Indigenous voices, wisdom, and priorities.

Our approach grows from recognizing the profound interconnections between environmental, social, humanitarian and cultural justice, guided by Indigenous ways of knowing that have sustained life for millennia. We move forward with humility, learning and unlearning as we support community-led transformation.

Azimuth World Foundation was established by Terry Rockstad and Mariana Marques with a profound vision: that all life on Earth exists in an intricate web of relationships. This understanding drives their commitment to advancing human rights through three essential pillars: Health & Healing, Water Access, Environment & Territories. At the intersection of these pillars lies a transformative approach that recognizes the deep connections between social, humanitarian, and environmental challenges. This perspective reflects the wisdom that Indigenous Peoples have long embodied – an understanding that we are not separate from nature, but are nature itself, inextricably woven into the fabric of all life.
