Join our mission to rediscover ancestral wisdom, and empower future generations for a dignified and sustainable life.
Wiñaypaq Intercultural School
Located in the district of Pisaq, a peasant community of Huandar, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Cusco; where we provide quality and free initial and primary education to 80 girls and boys of Quechua and mestizo origin from different peasant communities.
“Bahuaja” Amazon Conservation Area
A private conservation area, recognized by the Ministry of the Environment of Peru, where we develop different projects such as conservation, planting of medicinal plants and reforestation with bamboo to reduce the pressure on forest clearing.
Our Vision
Teaching Values
For us, revaluing ancestral culture is much more than just presenting a folkloric dance for a parade. It is the real recognition of the essence and validity of the worldview and values of the original cultures of America.

“I had the opportunity to visit the Wiñaypaq Intercultural School and see firsthand the dedication of the teachers and the joy of the children as they learn. This project not only educates but also dignifies and revalues Andean culture. It’s an authentic educational model that deserves all the support it can get.”

“I discovered Wiñaypaq during a trip to the Sacred Valley and was deeply impressed by their work. Knowing that my donation supports children receiving free, high-quality education connected to their cultural roots fills me with pride. This project truly transforms lives, preserves traditions, and builds a better future.”
