Field-focused practice
.

We co-design durable life infrastructures with frontline collectives, reinforcing systems of care, work, and governance built by communities.

Our role is to stabilize existing architectures, amplify community knowledge, and design for long-term endurance and replication.When institutions engage with us, whether NGOs, governments, or funders, we insist on alignment with field logic, not donor logic.

HOW

WE

WORK

Co-Design
Communities already design. Our role is to amplify their design capacity and give them new instruments that serve their logic.
02
Stabilize
Communities need anchors that keep their systems functioning under pressure. Instead of long reports on what the issues are, we provide simple solutions.
01
Extend
Communities often want their systems to connect, but without being swallowed by “scaling projects.” Extension means creating links, and disrupt the gatekeeping implemented by big players.
03
Refresh & Recover
Enjoy a free snack and drink while resting for 10–15 minutes. You’re done and already saving lives.
04
Registration
Create an account or walk in with a valid ID. Fill out a quick health questionnaire to confirm eligibility.
01
Health Check
We’ll check your pulse, blood pressure, temperature, and hemoglobin to ensure you’re ready to donate safely.
02
Donate Blood
Relax in a comfortable chair while our professionals collect your blood. The process takes just 8–10 minutes.

How is Yadra different from large NGOs or consultancies?
chevron_right

We don’t extract, deliver, or impose. Yadra Lab works through accompaniment, not consulting. Our role is to stabilize, protect, and extend infrastructures that communities already sustain—not to generate projects on behalf of donors. We move with the rhythm of the field, not the reporting cycles of institutions.

Who do we actually work with?
chevron_right

We stand alongside frontline collectives, cooperatives, and local systems across the Global South. We also collaborate with radical foundations, aligned funders, and institutions—but only when they are ready to follow field logic instead of imposing donor logic.

How do you sustain your work?
chevron_right

Our work is funded through field-aligned partnerships and redistributed resources. When institutions or funders seek to collaborate, we structure paid engagements that channel resources directly toward the infrastructures we are anchoring. In some cases, communities invite us in and we mobilize support through aligned foundations or cooperative funding pools. We do not accept funding that compromises field autonomy.

What do you mean by "durable life infrastructure"?
chevron_right

By infrastructures, we mean the living systems communities create—waste co-ops, water networks, mutual aid economies, land trusts, local governance models. By durable, we mean able to withstand pressure, co-optation, or erasure. Our work helps keep these systems steady, extend their reach, and protect them against capture.
