THE CCOCHOMOCCO SCHOOL :: COMMUNITY OF Q’EROS, PERU

Educational Resources

After years of asking the government to provide its children with accessible education, the Andean community of Ccochomocco has decided to build its own school. The community, which survives on subsistence farming, is now seeking international support in the last stages of realizing its goal.

Before the community began this project, its children had to walk two hours to the nearest school, often arriving to find it without a teacher. As a result, parents have been moving to the city to educate their children, consequently breaking the fiber of the remote mountain community and leaving it vulnerable to mining interests and other forms of environmental and cultural degradation.

The community has nearly completed the construction of the school but is still in need of money for doors, windows, and a modest teacher salary. If you have organizational connections, school supplies, or money that you would like to contribute, please visit the Give link above.
