As a result of limited access to health and nutrition, 21.74% of children in the community suffer from anemia, which in turn limits their growth, learning, and immunity. Addressing the issue of anemia in the community is vital to break cycles of poor health and poverty, ensuring every child in Huacahuasi can thrive.

Let's make change

Together, we can bring a sustainable and holistic healthcare system to Huacahuasi.

More than just a clinic.

  • At Sisters Project Peru, we believe that true health is woven from the threads of culture, community, and self-determination. In partnership with the people of Huacahuasi, we work to bridge healthcare access gaps by supporting the construction and future operation of a community-led medical clinic. Beyond infrastructure, we champion holistic, locally driven solutions—from nutrition and anemia prevention to dental hygiene education. Together, we are building not just a clinic, but a model of care rooted in dignity, resilience, and cultural pride.

  • We envision a future where rural Peruvian communities like Huacahuasi have lasting access to dignified, community-led healthcare. By building public clinics rooted in cultural respect, Indigenous knowledge, and women’s empowerment, we aim to improve health outcomes and inspire a global network committed to uplifting rural communities across the Andes.

  • At Sisters Project Peru, we are committed to fostering a community where diversity is celebrated, equity is pursued, and inclusion is the norm. We are committed to uplifting Indigenous voices, empowering women, and ensuring that healthcare and opportunity are accessible to all—rooted in respect, dignity, and inclusion.
