The highlands of Peru are home to the vast majority of all the alpacas in the world. The Quechua Indians, who domesticated the vicuna more than five thousand years ago, are the ancestral keepers of the alpaca.
They live in a high-altitude world of extremes - a vast rocky landscape devoid of trees, where a bitter wind can drive the cold, thin air straight through your bones.
In 1996, the Quechua Benefit founders decided to create a charity dedicated to the children of this extreme land.
We invite you browse the pages of this web site. Think kindly of the Quechua people and their need. Quechua Benefit gladly accepts donations of all sizes. To donate, go to our Donate / Volunteer section.
Quechua Benefit intends to begin Construction on Casa Chapi in the spring of 2009. You can help build a component of the complex. We need sponsors for buildings which include; classrooms, faculty buildings, and a library. If you would like to help in any way please contact Mario Pedroza or Mike Safley.
