WORLD AYNI ASSOCIATION

The World Ayni Association (WAA) is a non-profit organization that offers training programs and services to rural and disadvantaged communities in Peru... With this foremost in mind, WAA seeks to create opportunities for collaboration in which all the those involved - trainers, trainees and associates - are participating according to the sacred laws of give & take. Our programs are not designed to "help the needy" but to empower all those involved in a creative process of learning and teaching... We have a simple model working with both local and visiting trainers. For local trainers, we offer a small stipend for their time plus we cover the transportation and operating costs of their program. For visiting trainers, we provide planning & logistical support in exchange for an administration fee and a post-program donation to either WAA or to another approved Peruvian organization. In both cases, we seek to create for our trainers social service opportunities in venues and contexts..
