Internship in the Andes of Peru with Minka Project

Minka Project invites you to participate and develop your professional and human skills in a project aimed at providing support, encouragement, educational and emotional assistance to children living at risk.

These children come from Quechua migrant families in areas of the Peruvian Andes affected by political violence, social, economic and cultural marginalization, areas declared in extreme poverty (see: Peruvian government poverty map).
 The project is being developed in communities around the Mantaro Valley in the central Andes of Peru. These areas lack basic health, housing and education services, are populated by dysfunctional families that are subject to problems of sexism, domestic violence, alcoholism, among others. We intervene directly in the areas and communities, using a holistic approach and doing direct social work.
