Mosqoy: Quechua word for "dream."
We are an NGO working to bridge cross-cultural gaps between North America and Peru. We aim to realize the dreams of Peruvian students and textile workers through our two projects, Project Colibri and the Sacred Valley Youth Fund.
Our goals:
To educate through the Sacred Valley Youth Fund (SVYF), a Canadian charitable organization aiming to provide post-secondary education for 10-20 graduating students in Ollantaytambo per year, in hopes of establishing a stronger base of professionals in future generations.
To preserve through Project Colibri: Strands for Sustainability, working with textiles communities to keep their art and culture alive.
To connect generations, and the elders and youth of the Andes, spread awareness between the cultures and languages of Canada and Peru, and bridge the gap in the commodity chain between producer and consumer.
Mosqoy's Sacred Valley Youth Fund is recognized by the Canadian government as a charitable organization.
