Support Our Mission
A big part of Awamayu’s work is centered around the many ways in which we can give back to the communities that welcome us in their home. By collaborating directly with local leaders, we strive to understand the needs of the people and work hands-on on a variety of projects that help improve the quality of life and well-being of these communities. These projects vary based on the immediate needs of the community.

Our Latest Initiatives
Helping Saúl Get Back on his Feet
Saúl got in an accident that cost him his leg two years ago, and had been using a leg from a mannequin, strapped together with foam and tape. He lives alone and has a hard time supporting himself with his disability. In July of 2021, we collected enough donations to get him a prosthetic leg and physical therapy to get back on his feet.
Supporting the Shipibo Communities Through COVID-19
When COVID-19 hit Peru, the government closed the national borders, leaving the tourism industry shattered. This resulted in the paralyzation of the Shipibo’s economic activities and caused families to lose their financial incomes. With the help of your donations, we were able to minimize the impact of the pandemic and ensure food and economic security for the Shipibos and their families for the entire year by delivering monthly food baskets, medicines, and other essentials.
