Preserving identity while expanding opportunity.
DUMIZAY is led by Yasmin and her daughter Yillibeth. Yasmin is a cultural guardian and master weaver. Her daughter Yillibeth studies communications and represents the project in the School of Elevation. Together they blend tradition with digital entrepreneurship and share Êbêra culture through craft and design.

We don’t ask for donations.
Instead, we collaborate with communities to co-create physical and digital products, from recipes to experiences, that you can buy, gift, or enjoy.
Every purchase fuels local learning, reinvests into community growth, and supports long-term self-sustainability.

THE POWER OF THE COLLECTIVE
Social media for social elevation.
Every like, share and view generates income for creators and funds real community projects. This is what the power of the collective looks like.
