Chicuchas Wasi, founded in 1987, is a beacon of hope in the heart of Cusco,
Peru. This extraordinary organization was established with a noble mission:
to prevent human rights violations against abandoned children, some as
young as 6 years old, who were left to survive alone on the unforgiving
streets of Cusco.
Chicuchas Wasi is more than just a safe house; it’s a sanctuary for girls,
providing them with essential resources for a brighter future. These
include nutrition, healthcare, education, and life skills. The Chicuchas Wasi
School for Girls offers free primary education with a strong emphasis on
personal development, empowerment, and academic excellence. Their
curriculum instills essential values such as integrity, self-esteem, and social
responsibility, paving the way for a life of quality, dignity, gender equality, and
financial independence.
Beyond the classroom, Chicuchas Wasi School actively engages with the
community, organizing cultural celebrations and championing social and
women’s issues. They tirelessly advocate for the value and importance of
education for girls, helping to transform lives and communities.
