Education

The Chijnaya Foundation has responded to the overwhelming demand of rural families for access to higher education  by establishing a university scholarship program. This corps of young scholars hailing from rural communities creates a generation of Puno-based professionals who are likely to stay in the region and employ their skills in medicine, engineering, business, tourism development and the social sciences for the benefit of future generations. Our education projects also have included scholarships and program support for special-needs students, including Braille and computer education for students with sight impairment and properly-equipped wheelchairs for students  with mobility impairments.
