SieChitá is a US-based, non-profit organization with operations Bogotá, Colombia. We work on a variety of projects with community members around the themes of education, innovation and sustainability. Our name was chosen out of respect for the Muisca people who once controlled the territory, with 'sie' meaning 'water' and 'chita' meaning 'our land'. This name represents the importance of water for people in the region and highlights the significance of our belonging to the land. We are currently in the process of acquiring 501(c)(3) status.
