MISSION STATEMENT
Quechua Benefit operates in the highlands of Peru delivering dental care,
clothing, medicine, shelter, food, and sociological services to the Quechua population, mainly children. Our goal is to create sustainable solutions that nurture life skills and deliver hope for the future through education.
NEED
The need is undeniable. Forty percent of the Indian population in the highlands is undernourished, too few children graduate from high school, and even fewer advance to higher education. Infant mortality is 12.5% at year one and reaches over 25% by age ten. The life expectancy of an adult is 55 years. The average annual income of the Quechua peasant is $872 US dollars. Children are abandoned, orphaned, and many live in remote areas without schools. Single mothers are commonplace.
