CASA DE MANTAY - Girls' Safe Home Support

SUPPORT – ADOLESCENT WOMEN’S SAFE HOME

The Inti Raymi Fund provided significant monthly financial support for the Casa Mantay Facility, a women’s Safe Home in Cuzco, Peru. Casa Mantay supports, nurtures, counsels and offers vocational training for young women 12-18 years of age often with newborns. The facility includes a baby nursery, infant health care training, as well as a preliminary school. At the request of the operators and out of respect for residents, this discrete description of the facility has been provided.

Casa Mantay is operated by another 501c3 Public Charity, which was recommended to us and after research, chosen by the Inti Raymi Fund. This Passion Project is a very well run, well respected, and proven facility which is invaluable in Cuzco. The Inti Raymi Fund supports a “Good is Good” approach, whereby we will support other organizations we come across during our travels if they make sense and when “we cannot do what they’re doing in the field any better”.  It is important to the Inti Raymi Fund, and Chimu, that this non-profit remain organic, ever changing, and not confined to a mold.  The goal is to help People, lend a hand and care about the world we live in.
