After 12 years of working with children
and adolescents from high-risk situations
and violent backgrounds on themes like
social-emotional development and personal
growth, we present a new initiative:
Foundation Kikinpi Wiñay!

Our name, derived from Quechua, translates
to “growth from within”. This encapsulates
our core philosophy of fostering resilience
and empowerment in vulnerable communities
and individuals, specifically focusing on
children, adolescents, and women.

To ensure sustainability of our influence,
we work together with small groups of local
people involving teachers, social workers
and therapists who have a great passion
and drive for change.

Together we work towards more impact,
independence, and stability for vulnerable
populations here in Cochabamba. One of
the initial projects we support through Kikinpi
is the establishment of an integrated daycare
center at La Cancha. Read more about this
initiative on our projects page.
