Welcome to Mosqoy ~ Bienvenido a Mosqoy

Mosqoy: Quechua word for "dream."

We are a registered Canadian charitable organization working to bridge cross-cultural gaps between North America and Peru. We aim to realize the future dreams of Peruvian students, in order to assist Sacred Valley communities to achieve sustainable development while upholding traditional Quechua values.

Our goals:

To educate by providing post-secondary education for 10-20 graduating students per year from Ollantaytambo, in the hopes of establishing a stronger base of professionals among future generations.

To preserve by collaborating with the Q'ente Textile Revitalization Society, which works with textile communities to strengthen cultural and historical integrity through the Quechua weaving tradition. For more information on the Q'ente Textile Revitalization Society, please visit www.qentesociety.org.

To connect the elders and youth of the Andes, to connect the cultures and languages of Canada and Peru, and to bridge the gap in the commodity chain between producer and consumer.

Mosqoy's Sacred Valley Youth Fund is recognized by the Canadian government as a charitable organization.
