Thanks to your generosity, Casa Chapi is helping students turn bleak beginnings into bright futures. With keen excitement, students are beginning a new school year at Casa Chapi in both the primary school at Chivay and our secondary school in Arequipa.
Many children have come from homes that are unable to provide for them, but when they arrive at Casa Chapi they receive the love and care all children need to thrive. Boys and girls are not only taught to read and write, but they are also taught life skills in the greenhouse and values for successful relationships. You are helping to change the future for a generation in the Peruvian highlands.
Here are just a few of the stories of victory that Quechua Benefit can tell because of your generous hearts in giving to Casa Chapi.
