Sãkatani Alliance is a non profit, funded in 2025, by Jenny Hviding and Artur Moustafa. We work tightly with communities in the Brazilian Amazon; where their leaders and our team, through full transparency, signatures, indigenous sovereignty and intersectional conversations; collaborate on projects to strengthen their villages.
Sãkatani Alliance cooperates with regenerative practices such as permaculture, sintropics, agroforestry, reforestation and biogas-development—techniques that nourish both the land and the people.
Our goal is to build 100% self sufficient systems, through construction of cultural institutes and food forests, where the indigenous have full sovereignty. Sãkatani functions simply as the igniter on the how, offering structures for that to take action.
We invite scholars, artists, scientists, and experts in agriculture and socio-economic development to collaborate with us and the communities in a respectful, co-creative manner— always ensuring that Indigenous voices lead the way and are heard.
The Sãkatani Alliance emerged in part from Artur Moustafa’s long-standing, trust-based engagement with the Huni Kuin people, and from a shared recognition with the community of the urgent need to secure land and food sovereignty in regions facing increasing pressure from deforestation and land scarcity. A second, equally essential element that sparked the founding was Artur’s meeting with Jenny Hviding, who shared the vision and long-term commitment required to commence the work.
While the initiative responds directly to requests from the community and is designed to support Indigenous stewardship without undermining cultural integrity or ecological balance, the decision to establish Sãkatani as a dedicated foundation was a joint step. It was grounded in a common desire to create a transparent, accountable, and long-term structure capable of holding land, resources, and responsibility on behalf of the communities involved.
We are a bridge—connecting travel experiences with meaningful impact through income generation, knowledge sharing, and hands-on volunteering. At the same time, we help preserve cultural heritage and support the community’s journey toward self-sufficiency and environmental harmony.
We want to inspire, empower, and honour the guardians of the forest, so they can continue being exactly that: the true protectors of one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet.
Our intention is simple:
to let the forest speak—and be heard—through its people.
To return land, dignity, and voice to the jungle's rightful keepers.
Who we are
Our Team
Artur Moustafa
Artur has been engaged for more than a decade in long-term, trust-based collaboration with Indigenous Huni Kuin communities in Acre, Brazil. His involvement is rooted in listening, presence, and a shared commitment to supporting Indigenous autonomy, land stewardship, food security, self-sufficiency and regenerative ways of living.
Artur’s work sits at the intersection of regenerative systems design, sustainable food and building systems, and participatory processes that place local communities at the center of decision-making. He has spent over 20 years working with projects focused on resilience, self-sufficiency, grass root level based design methodologies and ecological regeneration across Latin America, Europe and the Nordic region specifically where he lives.
Artur has worked with the development of regenerative production systems, community-based decision models and low-impact construction approaches using local materials. His approach is practical and systems-oriented, with a strong emphasis on creating solutions that can be owned, maintained, and adapted locally over time.
Artur’s role within Sãkatani is to help bridge Indigenous leadership, local partners, and international supporters, ensuring that projects are built on consent, transparency, and long-term accountability. His work is guided by a belief that regeneration is not something done to communities, but something built with them, over time, through trust and shared responsibility.

Jenny Hviding
Jenny Hviding comes from a background with dance, photography and fine arts, and she has professional experience within project management, project leadership, co-funding and creating cultural spaces from scratch. She has co-created and run a cultural center in Barcelona, as well as a video gallery in Oslo. She started her own company at the age of 16, that she still operates as a freelance artist and is today a hyperpolyglot, speaking more than 5 languages fluently.
At 18 she moved out of Norway to pursue her artistic career, where she during the rest of her 20’s lived all over the globe; visiting South America and Brazil at the age of 19, where she got introduced to the indigenous Brazilian culture and spent time in the jungle. Her focus was participating in different socioeconomic projects, artistic collaborations and eventually agroforestry, bio construction and permaculture related studies. She lived for long periods of time in the jungle, where she acquired deep knowledge for the indigenous and their way of living, specializing in learning about the Huni Kuin ethnicity and plant medicine. She speaks fluent Spanish and Portuguese and is currently learning Hatxa Kuin, Huni Kuins language, as well as other Pano dialects. Hviding spends her time in between the jungles of Brazil and forests of Europe, learning about sintropics, agroforestry, permaculture and ecology.
Hviding is adamant about creating intersectional conversations and intercultural platforms, where art, nature and ancestral traditions can be met; inspiring and co-creating spaces that can flourish in slow paste efficiency with strong self sustainability and sovereignty.
