Ayni Relief Fund for Indigenous Peoples of Peru
Organization information
3 Generations
Location: New York, United States of America
Summary
Peru has been decimated by Covid-19. This project will help the indigenous community of Chincero recover in several ways. Over 80% of their economy has come from traditional textile weaving, but markets have disappeared due to the pandemic. Tourism-dependent families are starving, elders and children are at risk. The Ayni project revives traditional agricultural methods to provide food, help bring technology to children for education and protect the elders and traditional teaching and wisdom.
