OUR IMPACT
Sacred Valley Health es una organización comunitaria sin fines de lucro fundada en 2012 para mejorar el acceso a la atención médica en zonas remotas del Valle Sagrado de Perú. A través de nuestro Programa de Trabajadoras de Salud Comunitarias , empoderamos a las mujeres locales, conocidas como promotoras de salud , brindándoles educación, desarrollo profesional y oportunidades económicas. Estas mujeres se convierten en líderes de la atención médica en sus comunidades, abordando problemas críticos como la neumonía, la desnutrición y las deficiencias en salud materna.
Muchas comunidades indígenas de la cordillera de los Andes carecen de acceso a atención médica básica, lo que provoca problemas de salud prevenibles. Nuestro enfoque reduce estas brechas trabajando en igualdad de condiciones con las comunidades locales , garantizando soluciones de salud culturalmente relevantes y sostenibles. Con un currículo personalizado, desarrollado junto con personal quechuahablante, nos centramos en la atención preventiva y el impacto a largo plazo , garantizando que la educación y los recursos en salud se mantengan incluso cuando ya no estemos presentes.

OUR MODEL: COMMUNITY-DRIVEN, INTERCULTURAL, INCLUSIVE
Sacred Valley Health believes health is a right, not a privilege. Our network-based strategy places Quechua-speaking women at the heart of health systems in Peru’s most underserved regions. We use community-centered, culturally respectful methodologies that allow women to become the bridge between traditional wisdom and modern care—because sustainability begins when solutions are led by those who live the realities.
