Chicuchas Wasi Girls
Chicuchas Wasi students come from underserved poor rural communities where extreme distance to few public schools, cost for the required school uniforms and supplies for public school make education unavailable, especially for girls. Parents and their daughters are interviewed and selected by CW staff based on need and to be sure they have no other education options for their daughter. Students who met the CW criteria are enrolled free of charge to the family.
