​Rural residents in the Cusco region are 75% less likely to study after secondary school than their urban peers. The Transitions Project supports indigenous young people in the Andes to access tertiary education and obtain fair/formal employment, helping improve standards of living in the communities. 

​Opportunities for school leavers from remote, Amazonian communities are limited. Only 1 in 20 access tertiary education. The Transitions Project helps young people prepare for life after school. It also opens opportunities for further studies to those who don’t have the resources or support to continue studying.

Women in Peru continue to face many challenges including illiteracy, domestic violence and limited earning potential. The Ethical Trade project promotes financial independence for Quechua-speaking women from rural communities, through the production and sale of hand-woven products. 

The young people we work with come from indigenous communities that have deep-seated cultural traditions. The Meet My World project, encourages young people to connect with and celebrate their cultural identity, as they share their experiences through film and photography.
