I have seen up-close the work Sacred Valley Health is doing.  They change lives and support remote communities. I'm proud to be a supporter!

For years, Indigenous women in Peru's Sacred Valley have served as trusted health leaders by teaching nutrition, supporting women’s health, providing first aid, and promoting health and wellbeing in some of the region's most remote, underserved communities.

This October, Sacred Valley Health will celebrate a historic milestone as our first 10 promotoras become nationally certified Intercultural Community Health Educators. This is the first certification of its kind for Quechua speaking community health educators in Peru, and this is an historic professional first for these Indigenous women! Your gift will help support this pilot certification process, creating a pathway for dozens more community health workers to earn this important recognition in the years ahead.

Together, we're recognizing the knowledge, leadership, and dedication of these remarkable women while strengthening community-based healthcare for generations to come. Thank you for helping make this milestone possible.

Improving health in the Peruvian Andes by training and empowering indigenous women as community health workers. 

Sacred Valley Health is a community-based, public health nonprofit that partners with vibrant, indigenous communities in the Andes of Peru. **Our core purpose is improving  health and well-being in underserved, marginalized communities through a community health worker program that empowers local women with education, resources, professional development, and economic opportunities.** 

Sacred Valley Health works with **marginalized partner communities to increase access to health knowledge and health care while \***providing vocational training to women and elevating them as leaders within their communities\*.\*\* It is often the case in indigenous communities, like SVH’s partner communities in Peru, that older women viewed as community elders are a respected voice when it comes to dictating community norms. ​​Our vision is that by empowering cohorts of women with health education and vocational training and by providing culturally relevant health information and care to the vibrant, indigenous partner communities we partner with, we can help people living in these communities to experience greater health and well-being.  

Since its inception in 2012, Sacred Valley Health has trained more than 100 women as health workers, launched a very successful train-the-trainer program, and developed a customized, comprehensive health education curriculum for visual Quechua-speaking learners. Most importantly, Sacred Valley Health has become a trusted, reputable partner in the local health landscape - among community members, health officials, funders, and other nonprofits - by using a collaborative, participatory approach in their work.
