Our work

The organization CooperarPeru opened the school center in April 2011 in the community of Tankarpata and since then, we receivechildren aged from 3 to 15 years old. We started with 12 children and we now have more than 50 children registered in our school. With the support and donations of many volunteers, we built a library. In that manner, the older children can do their homeworks, having the opportunity to consult dictionaries, history books and encyclopedia, while at the same time, the youngest children are reading. Besides our library, we have a room that we call “the lounge” in which we organize activities, working group sessions, campaigns, theatre, dance, meetings and more.

OUR PROGRAMS

CooperarPerú presents the program YANAPASUNCHIS, which in Spanish means “Ayudaremos” (We will help).

The objective of that program goes by three pillars:

EDUCATION

Reinforce the development and academic performance of children of Perú. 

  • Education: We are convinced that education and children are the key to development and change. To this end, we want to give children in the rural communities around Cusco the opportunity to have access to a quality intercultural and value-laden education. Indeed, the project goes beyond the strictly academic aspect. We do not only teach how to read or write, but also how to build values such as solidarity, tolerance, generosity, friendship, responsibility… The vast majority of children in the communities have learning problems, a lack of attention, little motivation to study… This is in addition to the fact that many parents have not finished school and cannot help them with their homework. For these reasons, we decided to create a space where they can develop their knowledge and skills in a playful, cooperative and free way. The aim of working with international volunteers and interns is for children to discover new cultures and ways of thinking while sharing and learning to value their own. “Children are beings full of ambition and dreams, let’s support them so that they can follow them and make them come true” .

HEALTH

Provide appropriate information about the various topics regarding Health

  • Health: Access to quality health care services has a direct impact on the development and quality of life of every person. It is considered as a basic human right, but in reality millions of people still do not have access to safe drinking water, basic health services, heating, air conditioning, ventilation or adequate knowledge about it. Less than half of the Peruvian population had comprehensive health insurance, and rural communities are undoubtedly the most affected by that reality. With the aim of improving the living conditions of rural communities around Cusco, we have decided to make health one of our main areas of action.

We organize workshops and activities on disease prevention, hygiene, nutrition, as well as medical campaigns (vaccines, infectious diseases…). For a better quality of information and attention to our communities, we have the support of the Chocco medical practice, the Solidarity Hospital of Cusco and our volunteers and students in medicine and nursing. Together, we help the communities to develop essential hygiene habits to prevent diseases and infections. We also promote and facilitate access to health services for isolated communities in Cusco..

WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT

Emphasize self-realization and promote an appropriate community development

Empowerment:

  • Empowerment: Violence against women is evident and therefore we are committed to empowering them and making them more independent not only economically but also in their emotional integrity, taking them as the main axis to help them develop their own family.

We organize production workshops for them in fabrics, crafts and textiles. We train them and transfer information on issues related to the trade of the good produced. For these production workshops that are carried out, customizations related to the product are invited. Likewise, psychological activities and emotional support are carried out if they need it in order to improve their quality of life and that of their family.

. Let’s support mothers in rural areas to improve their quality of life, giving them the opportunity to work with dignity in a productive and respected environment!

"Education is a right, and not a privilege"
