Kikinpi Wiñay was founded in 2023 by Sem and Laurie.
Together, they can count on twelve years of experience
from managing a non-profit organization in Cochabamba,
supporting children who have been through violence,
neglect, and abuse, in processing traumas and breaking
behavioral patterns using methods from creative therapy,
among others. By working together with, and training local
educators and social workers to guide these children,
Kikinpi Wiñay intends to break the vicious cycles of abuse
and violence, while ensuring a sustainable impact.
The board of Kikinpi Wiñay consists of five passionate
young women, each with their own knowledge, specialties
and talents. Next to the board, we work with a big group of
volunteers, most of them joining us from Casa de la Alegría.
“We see this foundation as an extra support in further enhancing
sustainability of the help to these vulnerable groups here in Cochabamba.
When looking at the future, we make sure to bring our knowledge and
experience and share it with the local colleagues in our network.”
