Support the educational growth of children

Help us make a difference in the lives of our children by helping them with their homework and sharing any knowledge you can contribute. From languages, math, and science to music, art, and sports; anything that supports their educational development will undoubtedly have an impact.

Help us improve our online presence

Make a positive impact by expanding our online reach. Whether you can contribute knowledge of social media or copywriting, photography and videography skills, or experience in web development or IT, everything from helping us raise awareness of our orphanage to educating the children is appreciated!

Help us in the kitchen and with farm life.

Every day we look for active help with tasks ranging from preparing different meals in our kitchen to harvesting and caring for the livestock. Whether you have prior experience in this field or not, any help is welcome.

Azul Wasi is also a verified member of several volunteer services, such as Hovos, Volunteerworld, and Worldpackers. If you feel more comfortable registering through a specific service, feel free to contact us through any of the channels mentioned above and find out what other volunteers think about us.

Why volunteer with us?

At Azul Wasi, we're a big family offering you a getaway to the beautiful Andes Mountains. We're located in the picturesque southern valley, in the district of Oropesa, just 27 km or $3 by bus from downtown Cusco, giving you endless possibilities to explore! On our property, we have a greenhouse where we grow our own vegetables, raise various animals, and maintain a sustainable lifestyle.

Our children are full of energy, love, and motivation to learn, play, and explore; so you'll never be bored!

We also love welcoming volunteers and do our best to make them feel at home. We have designated shared (and sometimes private) rooms for our staff, some of which also include a private bathroom. Every day, our kitchen prepares three free meals—all the same for the children and staff!

In addition to their assigned tasks, volunteers are always welcome to help our team with anything needed, although it's not expected of them.

During your stay with us, you will meet our children, learn from their stories, and grow with their love and gratitude towards our volunteers. We will also be able to introduce you to Peruvian culture, our delicious cuisine, and our beautiful valley region. You will also discover that we are incredibly proud to make a difference in the lives of our children. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing them succeed and be happy; the same applies to our volunteers.

It is also appreciated (though not required) that volunteers contribute between $1 and $5 USD per day to cover a bed in one of the volunteer rooms, three complimentary meals, free Wi-Fi, water, and electricity, and two free days (of your choice), in addition to helping fund the orphanage. Payment will be made in USD or PEN at the end of your stay. We would be delighted to have you at Azul Wasi, and we know it will be a wonderful experience! Unique, enriching, and fun for everyone!
