volunteering helping to improve the quality of life and education of children and women in Peru

Location: El Tambo- Huancayo, Perú

Minka, in the language of the Incas means reciprocal help, is a voluntary social work project that is helping many people of the Andean peoples improve their living situation because many of them are in a situation of extreme poverty and social exclusion , children lack adequate education or simply do not attend school, in addition to having learning problems due to malnutrition and exclusion because they are descendants of Andean families. This is compounded by problems common to immigrant families, such as a difficult adjustment, lack of opportunities, abandonment and family violence.
