Awamaki is comprised of a Peruvian “Asociación Civil” and a U.S. 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization working together to promote community development in Ollantaytambo, Peru. Awamaki works with women and rural and indigenous families in Ollantaytambo and the surrounding communities through two programs in Women’s Cooperatives and Sustainable Tourism.
In our Women's Cooperatives Program, we organize women's cooperatives (in spinning, weaving, and knitting), provide skill-building workshops and market access through our Fair Trade Store in town as well as an international wholesale collection, thereby allowing women to earn a reliable income.
Our Sustainable Tourism Program benefits community members by promoting culturally sensitive tourism for visitors passing through Ollantaytambo, granting foreigners with a unique insight into Quechua life and providing local families with additional income and pride in their culture. The Sustainable Tourism Program offers various in community experiences such as weaving lessons and small hikes. We aim to give our partner women artisans the opportunity to build skills and access knowledge that will allow them to increase their incomes and quality of life.
Our Volunteer Program brings skilled international volunteers to support the daily operations of Awamaki.
