Quechua Benefit
Quechua Benefit is an organization dedicated to helping the Quechua people in the highlands of Peru.
People who live in remote areas, like the Quechua people do, are often forgotten by the outside world. Because of your generosity, Quechua Benefit is breaking the cycle of poverty among these beautiful people with our education, anemia prevention, and economic empowerment programs. With your help, they will be forgotten no longer.
Your generosity is making all the difference for the 100 at-risk students at Casa Chapi. Boys’ and girls’ lives are enriched through a quality reading program, Sinfonia por el Peru, and anemia prevention and treatment.
Join the movement this #GIVINGTUESDAY! 100% of your donation directly impacts the lives of women and children in Peru.
Traditions in Peru revolve around alpacas. Women pass along their traditions of spinning alpaca yarn and creating beautiful garments and household goods with it. From their hands to yours–you can create your own new tradition with the work of their hand and make it possible to continue their traditions.
Using their ancient craft of hand spinning yarn, Quechua women earn a living wage in Alliyma’s economic empowerment program. You are empowering women and their families with your donations and purchases at Alpacas.com.
Your support of Casa Chapi is changing the future for nearly 100 at-risk children. Learning to read will unlock a world of opportunities for them.
Nearly 50% of school age children in Peru suffer from parasites and anemia. Because of your generosity, students at Casa Chapi receive regular check-ups to diagnose and treat these ailments. Healthy children are able to attend school more often and have better aspirations for the future.
Every once in a while we see something we can’t forget. That’s what happened when Jim and Dick saw a little girl in Lari, Peru. They persisted until they found her. Their love and concern for the Quechua people in the highlands of Peru has made all the difference for Dante and Siomera.
What do you love to do? Xochitl loves alpacas and children. It’s amazing how those two loves came together when she volunteered for Quechua Benefit. And she had a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Peru!
Whatever your expertise, you can be like Debra Parcheta. She is a database designer who is making a lasting impact. Recently Debra volunteered with Quechua Benefit in Peru and used her expertise to assist with our anemia prevention campaign.
