Asociación Kallpa para la Promoción Integral de la Salud y el Desarrollo. KALLPA

Kallpa was founded on August 26, 1990, with the mission of improving the quality of life for the most vulnerable populations in Peru through education and social assistance. It began its activities in a school in Pamplona Alta, located in the district of San Juan de Miraflores, Lima, with a health-promoting schools project. From there, Kallpa expanded its work to the broader educational community, including students, teachers, service staff, and parents.
