Let's #ReachMoreGirls in 2023!

In 2023, SVP is proud to be welcoming a new incoming class of young women who are eager to learn, explore, open their minds and their hearts and above all, create a path towards their ideal future self. We are asking you, humbly, to help us provide SVP programming for 15 NEW STUDENTS, who may be the younger sisters, neighbors, and friends of our bright young SVP participants, and who also hope to be examples to the next generation of girls in their communities.

The new class can be made possible with your help. With $2200 a year to sponsor a student, SVP can provide the following:

*a warm and nurturing place to live and study

*nutritious meals

*private tutoring

*school supplies and transportation

*mentorship ......and MORE! to 15 girls from remote communities in the Andes.

Gather a team, a friend or a family member and join us in supporting this new class. A class who will forever make their impression on our project, on their peers and will become future mentors to younger girls in the years to come. Thank you for joining us in this campaign to SPONSOR THE INCOMING SVP CLASS OF 2023!!!

The Story of the Sacred Valley Project ---->

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.

REACH MORE GIRLS for the 2023 School Year!

Let's raise funds so that we can welcome little sisters, neighbors and friends of our SVP girls to the program in 2023.
