Situations to which children went on leaving Amantaní (1997-2010)

in spanish

 

1997  Amantaní begins as a Provisional Home in a rented flat in the centre of Cusco.

1998  We move into a bigger, more suitable house.

1999  We start to take in breast-feeding, adolescent mothers, in a rented flat next door to our building. This project was later taken on by a different organisation.
•  We extend the premises in order to be able to take in more babies.

2002  We buy some land next to the AmantanĂ­ Home, where we build an annexe.
In the course of our work in the home we see the need to:
•  provide the children with more personalized attention;
•  provide means to prevent the social exclusion of mothers, a possible cause of them abandoning their children

2003  The first wawa wasi (nursery) is opene.

2004  We open the second wawa wasi and the first family home is created.

2006   The second family home is opened.

2007  We extend the first wawa wasi and close the second in order to begin working with wawa wasis in the poorer city and rural areas.

2008  We buy a house so as to establish our third family home.
 
2008-2009  Abrimos dos internados en Ccorca en un espacio cedido por la comunidad
