About the project
In 2010, a group of friends from university, currently professionals in the area of development communication, dedicated their internship to a social project in the community of Tankarpata. Eventually they decided to continue with the project because of the various problems caused by economic and social inequalities. At the end of the year, the project became a non-profit civil association, known as «Cooperar Perú». The goal of our association is to help to improve the development of the rural community of Tankarpata and its children. In spite of its proximity to the city of Cusco, the community of Tankarpata does not have access to drinking water and does not have any canalization. It directly affects the health of the families and their children who are living there. Furthermore it has a negative impact on the scholar development of the children. Alcoholism is also present in some families, which often generates abuse and violent behaviors. Today, Cooperar Perú works in the area of education, health and community development, with more than 50 children, between 3 and 14 years old.
