Giving Back: Kusa Treks' Commitment to Local Schools

At Kusa Treks, we believe that responsible tourism goes beyond creating unforgettable travel expereinces. It's about making a positive impact on the communities that welcome our travelers with open arms. One of the ways we do this is through our ongoing efforts to support local elementary school by providing essential supplies and assistance.

Why We Support Local Schools

Education is a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty and creating opportunites for future generations. Many rural schools in Peru, espcecially in the Sacred Valley region, face challenges such as limited access to school materials, outdated infrastructure, and a lack of resources. By partnering with these school, we aim to help bridge these gaps and create a better learning environment for the children.

How We Make a Difference

Each year, a protion of our proceeds goes directly toward purchasing and sitrubuting school supplies, including notebooks, pencils, backpacks, and other educational materials. Addiontally, we work cloesly with local teachers to identify specific needs and provide targeted support. This includes:

• School Supply Donations - We regularly distribute essential items to students to ensure they have the tools they need to succeed.

• Infrastructure Support - When possible, we contribue to school improvements such as classroom repairs and furniture donations.

• Community Engagment - We ecnourage our travelers to get involved by bringing supplies or particiapating in school visits, fostering cultural exchange and shared expereinces.

Through our combined efforts, we have witnessed remarkable transformations, from students excelling in their studies to schools improving their facilities and learning environments.
