house of the people of the sun, peru
Inti Runakunaq Wasin (IRW) “House of the People of the Sun” is an institution in Cuzco, Peru, with the mission of contributing to the integral development of the various people who find themselves in situations of risk,
neglect and/or are victims of
domestic violence, working towards familial integration, improvement of quality
of life and promoting their positive participation in the development of the
country. The philosophy that underlies running programs with children and adolescents considers that they are all people with a high potential of development, taking into account the different forms of mistreatment or neglect suffered in the home, the street or the school. The main emphasis of the work is centred on offering these young people affection, helping them to see that they too are valuable people and to discover their abilities, permanently developing direct communication, mutual respect and values.
Inti Runakunaq Wasin is open daily Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 12:30 and 2:30 to 6:30 and Saturdays from 3:00 to 7:00 providing the following programs: Personal Development, Education, vocational Skills, and program for children with special needs.
