In the heart of rural Peruvian society, over 70% of residents belong to indigenous communities living in extreme poverty. Amantani transforms the lives of young people through guided access to higher education. Today, just over 1 in 10 indigenous youth have the opportunity to pursue tertiary education, and the rural-urban divide in access to education is stark, with rural residents being 75% less likely to continue their studies. Together, today, we stand for the needs of young indigenous Peru.

The impact of Amantani's work is profound. Since the inception of our Transitions Project, over 160 young people have accessed vocational programs and university degrees, with 55% of graduates securing formal employment-significantly higher than the national average of 29%. Furthermore, 87% of project graduates have reported increased income since completing their studies, demonstrating the transformative power of education.
Your partnership with Amantani allows us to offer comprehensive support to scholarship recipients, ensuring they receive the socio-emotional guidance and academic mentoring necessary for success. By investing in the potential of indigenous youth, you are not just making a donation; you are becoming part of a legacy that fosters educational equity and empowers a proud community.
