We are a social volunteer project that works directly in Andean areas and communities of Peru declared in extreme poverty and abandonment with a holistic approach and carrying out direct social work. Our methodology is direct contact with these families and people. We are at a stage in which we carry out research on human rights and gender issues; socio-economic studies and the impact of the modern culture of the city on the loss of rights of these people; as well as carrying out numerous case studies; personal emotional and psychological impact; obtaining related data and a multitude of talks; workshops and face-to-face visits (psychology; organization; emotional support; women’s and girls’ rights and others); as well as activities related to education; cultural revaluation; gender violence and other important issues related to this topic; promoting group organization and mutual support so that they can face their difficult situation. You are sure to offer your personal and professional skills with objective people and problems; far from artificial settings or voluntourism; we operate with a horizontal structure and work directly with communities to promote their self-development. Our projects are carried out in the same rural communities and vulnerable populations; with their own resources; without intermediaries. You will have specialized support from people committed to the social and economic improvement of the country; knowledgeable about their culture; mentality and area; sociologists; anthropologists and laws; you are safe in a personal; professional and quite human environment.
