This is a non-profit association with the main objective to help homeless elderly people from our community and the city of Cusco by providing shelter, food, and nursing support. This association was founded on April 27th of 1981 by a group of nuns dedicated to helping old poor people without homes and families, better known as LA CONGREGACION DE HERMANITAS DE LOS ANCIANOS DESAMPARADOS – CUSCO, with the collaboration of the bishop in those years. This nursing home takes care of people who are 65 years old or older who do not have homes or are in extreme poverty. They receive treatment, food, and physical therapy and do different activities organized by the association. You will work with different staff members depending on the area you are assigned. There are 20 people dedicated to helping approximately 100 elderly people from our community.
