Empowering the Lakota community

Recent developments

Lakota Empowerment Group

Helping workers gain skills in trades, while fixing houses for families in need.
The LEG is our newest, proudest program.

Laundromats on the Rez

Pine Ridge residents often travel 100+ miles for laundry, so we're building three local laundromats. This project will provide essential services, create jobs, and use profits to fund youth programming.

Food banks for diabetics

Nearly 50% of adults over the age of 40 have diabetes on Pine Ridge. It's imperative to have food banks with appropriate offerings.
