Who We Are

Mission & Vision

Quechua Benefit’s mission is to empower the Quechua people in the highlands of Peru through educational programs, medical care, efficient farming practices, and social justice programs.

History & Impact

Don Julio Barreda asks if the alpaca breeders of the United States could help the people of Macusani, Peru. The first dental trip to Peru is organized by Mario Pedroza and Mike Safley. The team attends to 907 patients.

Our Founder’s Story

Alpacas connect many of the supporters of Quechua Benefit to the shepherds of Peru. These hard-working people care for 95% of the alpacas on Earth, and this is why Quechua Benefit co-founder Mike Safley first came to visit Peru.
