About us
Intiwawa is a dynamic and young organization with the goal of fighting poverty in the slums of Arequipa, the second largest city in Peru. Founded as a German-Peruvian organization in 2007, we now consist of an international team volunteering in Peru and in Germany.
Our goal is the integral development of the children and their parents and a sustainable improvement of their living standards. To achieve this goal and fight the symptoms of poverty, Intiwawa carries out projects in several areas:
Education: Homework support, English classes, computer classes
Health: Dentist project, healthy nutrition, personal hygiene
Strengthening sociocultural values: Social workshops and cultural workshops
Strengthening environmental values: Recycling, planting plants
Projects with the parents: Parent’s School, Knitting projects for the mothers

In order to make our goal reality we require as much support as possible, from volunteers, donors, and sponsors.
Thank you very much for your valuable support!

Dear Intiwawa community,
thanks to your ongoing support we are able to keep our activities in place! Read on to find out what we have been doing over the last few weeks:
Integration activities with the Mothers of Warmi! After the International Fair of Arequipa, we had a series of integration activities with the mothers of Warmi. We enjoyed a sporty afternoon full of laughter and energy, where we played volleyball, football, and even had a dance class. These moments were accompanied by a meal of friendship, where we shared more than just food, we shared experiences and relaxation, leaving aside the worries of everyday life.

A talk from the CEM for Warmi’s mothers! The Centro Emergencia Mujer (CEM) held a talk entitled “I’m improving my communication and my bond with my children” for the mothers in our Warmi project. During the session, they shared information about the CEM’s services and how to access their support network if needed.This talk helped to strengthen our “Emotional Management and Entrepreneurship Program” for the new group of mothers in the project. We thank the CEM for their valuable contribution and commitment to our community.

Special Gathering at Intiwawa! We had the honor of gathering mothers from the former Warmi group and former Intiwawa volunteers. Julene, former coordinator of the Madres Luchadoras project, and Lara, former Operations Officer, joined us for a day of sharing and connection.It was a day full of memories, learnings and strengthened bonds. Every moment shared reinforces our commitment to the community.
