Our Weaving Program has been one of our most successful offerings to the community of Maras to date. We are so proud of our participants who have graduated and opened their own store in Maras. Our students are doing quite well producing and selling their wares while managing their business. Their success is an excellent example of our vision at ARI, through focused educational programs, to drive the restoration of self-directed prosperity in Maras and other communities in the Sacred Valley.

We are honored to share the thoughts and feelings of our weaving teachers and students in this most recently translated video!

It is so wonderful to hear the gratitude and joy of our weavers! But we also must note that these beautiful members of our community are still struggling when it comes to basic resources, especially the availability of water. With these people in our hearts, we continue our Global Headquarters Fund in which we have plans to create a water collection and storage system, which will be a vital asset in the dry climate of Maras.

Thanks to you, the building process has great momentum now, but we need your help to keep it strong! Our immediate funding goal to finish building our headquarters is $80,000.

Your contribution of $100, $250, $500 or more will help us have our building up and running this year. It will mean the world to the families of Maras and nearby villages. Your donation will help us create incredible ayni for the people of Maras, for you, and for our world!
