Our Impact
The impact goal is to empower women in Peru with a great salary and happy working conditions. The benefits of entering the labor market are multiple: more independence, less time doing domestic work, and even improved well-being.
But there's more... Social entrepreneurship has a snowball effect.
You're the reason why we're doing this ♡
Women. Teenage mothers. Vulnerable girls. Women with little or no education. Marginalized elderly. Without a pension, or perhaps a pension that's not enough. Women living in Cusco. And the surrounding areas. Basically, our beneficiaries can be anyone who wants to join the team to be empowered.
