Community development in Peru

INTIWAWA is a young non-governmental organization that is located in Arequipa/Peru as well as Emsdetten/Germany. The primary goal of their organization is to help young men and woman improve their everyday situation. At this point we mainly work in San Isidro, a small village of about 90 families, located approximately 45 minutes from the City-Centre. The aim of IntiWawa is to fight existing problems as well as research and fight the cause of these problems in order to prevent their development in the first place.

This project offers a great way to make a real difference in Peru between traveling. Due to flexible dates and no participation fees, it is a great project to help out with.
