Awamaki is a Peruvian non-profit civil association and a U.S. 501(c)(3). These two organizations partner closely to work towards community development in and around Ollantaytambo, Cusco, Peru. Awamaki was formed in early 2009. It's first and still-largest program is the weaving project, which serves the rural indigenous communities above Ollantaytambo. Since 2009, Awamaki has expanded to other women's microenterprise crafts cooperatives, as well as programs in health, education and sustainable tourism. We at Awamaki believe that women's economic access is a powerful driver of sustainable community development, but we recognize the crucial role that access to quality health care and education plays in increasing community well-being. We believe in close collaboration between local partners and world actors to best utilize resources for local good. We also believe that non-profit work is most sustainable when social enterprise is an integral part of an organization's funding model, and we work to thoroughly incorporate social enterprise strategies into our activities.
