Wayus, commonly referred to as Guajiros, are an Amerindian ethic group that have been able to avoid European acculturation over the centuries. The Guajira region is characterized by being very dry and arid, as well as extremely poor in most rural areas.

After the tragic events of the earthquake that hit Port Au Prince, Wayu Tay has expanded its work to Haiti with the creation of the Help Haiti Hope initiative. Currently expanding into the Amazon where it will support healthcare and education initiatives, benefiting major indigenous groups such as the Jivi, Yanomami and Piaroa.
