Let's support a year of education at the Sacred Valley Project for 5 GIRLS!!! The Sacred Valley Project is a non-profit organization focused on providing access to education for girls in remote areas of Peru.

The focus on a space meant for girls was founded on the unfortunate reality that only 4 in 10 indigenous Peruvian girls from rural areas in the Andes graduate from secondary school. While most communities in Peru have access to a primary school, girls in the rural Andes face significant challenges reaching the closest secondary school. Challenges include several hours of travel on foot, harsh weather conditions, and health and safety concerns for young women traveling alone. While many farming families will find a way to pay for their sons to receive an education, this opportunity is not often afforded to their daughters.

SVP achieves its mission by providing the following services for girls: a) A safe and nurturing space conducive to learning and growth, b) Academic Tutoring , c) Language transition tutoring for Quechua-speaking students entering Spanish- speaking schools, d) All schooling and indirect schooling fees such as school supplies, uniforms, books, and transportation, e) Extracurricular activities that reinforce self-confidence, self-esteem, empowerment, and promote local cultural values, f) Technical skills workshops to build each student’s capacity to reach economic independence upon graduation, g) Guidance in the search for post-secondary opportunities.

The Sacred Valley Project is intended to be more than just a living space. It is a place of community and growth, in which the girls learn to set goals and achieve them in a warm and positive environment. The direct beneficiaries of our program are the girls in the program. However SVP strives to equip the girls with skills that will ultimately affect their families, communities, and future children. We strive to ensure that on top of a degree and post-secondary opportunities, SVP girls have the skills to stand up for themselves, have a stronger voice in their communities and family negotiations and possess the ability to advocate for themselves and their children.
