Kusi Warma

What Kusi Warma does

Asociación Kusi Warma is a Peruvian non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in 1999 and headquartered in the San Miguel district of Lima, Peru. With 26 years of operational experience and a staff of approximately 19 employees, the organization is dedicated to promoting and protecting the rights of children, adolescents, and vulnerable populations across four regions of Peru: Lima, Callao, Huancavelica, and Apurímac. Its mission centers on improving living conditions in the areas of health, education, early childhood development, violence prevention (including gender-based violence), food security, and climate resilience, primarily serving peri-urban marginal communities (Ventanilla, Puente Piedra) and rural high-Andean communities (Huancavelica, Turpo).

Kusi Warma operates a portfolio of community-based social programs rather than a technology product or software platform. Its flagship offerings include the Centros MAIPI (Modelo de Atención Integral a la Primera Infancia) early childhood development centers, child protection programs for abuse victims, gender-based violence prevention initiatives, climate resilience projects protecting water sources and improving agricultural productivity, and environmental governance programs. The methodology combines rights-based, community, and gender approaches, delivered through direct field teams working with families, schools, health centers, municipal child defense offices (DEMUNAs), and local authorities.

The organization is funded almost entirely through project-based grants from European institutional donors — primarily Kindernothilfe e.V. (Germany) and BMZ (Germany), Manos Unidas (Spain), Infants del Món (Andorra), Fundación Jhon & Tinina (Liechtenstein), Gobierno de Tirol (Austria), Porticus and Bernard van Leer Foundation (Netherlands), Dubai Cares Foundation (UAE), and various Spanish regional governments and municipalities. Financial details are not publicly disclosed. Over 26 years, the organization has executed more than 50 projects, reaching over 60,000 children, adolescents, families, and community members.
