In April 2019 the team at Machu Picchu Viajes Peru endeavoured to fulfil the dreams of 28 Mahuaypampa children in the Andean mountains in western Cusco by giving them the gift of school supplies. These Mahuaypampa children of the mountains do not have the resources or the capacity to facilitate their school lives like the rest of us, so it is for these reason that we decided to support the children with the equipment they need to be able to study hard in their education. Not least because of the joy they bring us with every smile and expression of gratitude. Machu Picchu Viajes Peru would like to reach more populated centers with our School Supplies Project, however the lack of recourse means that we instead need to change the location of our project each time.
MACHU PICCHU VIAJES PERU AND ITS COMMITMENT TO CHILDREN
WHY “MACHU PICCHU VIAJES PERU” SUPPORTS THE CHILDREN
The team at Machu Picchu Viajes Peru believe it is important to give the people of the Andean highlands, those living in the most isolated mountain regions of Cusco, the opportunity to smile knowing that there is a company that is thinking about them. People in these communities have been marginalized in some cases by society and may lack basic needs in their communities such as education, health services, adequate food and housing. What is worse is that millions of tourists pour money into the economy through tourism, but the populated centers do not receive any benefits or subsidies from the state.
In 2017 Machu Picchu Viajes Peru supported the students within the community of Cucani, one of the highest mountainous regions of Cusco. Sadly, these children had never had the support of an institution because their community was so isolated.
We would appreciate your support in the social projects undertaken by Machu Picchu Viajes Peru. You can do this by booking tours with us (we use some of the funds for social projects), of course, donations are also greatly appreciated!
