Minga Peru | Empowering Communities in the Amazon

Minga's impact, both locally and globally, is due to our unique three-pronged approach: radio programs, empowerment training, and income-generating green projects.

Radio for social change

Durante 25 años, nuestro programa de radio intercultural 'Bienvenida Salud' ha llegado a más de 120,000 oyentes en siete idiomas.

Leadership training

We invite our listeners to train as 'Community Promoters' in a three-year program.

Climate resilience

Minga promotes family projects that generate sustainable income and train young people committed to the environment.

Institutional Strengthening

Minga's success in Peru has made it a regional leader in strategic communication for social change.

Interwoven throughout these programs is a strong emphasis on promoting and preserving Indigenous cultural identity.

«In leadership training, Minga Peru brings in experts in areas that will help these women establish jobs and steady streams of income for their families… They teach the women how to build a fish farm, how to stock it, how to maintain it, and finally, how to take it to market, so they can sell it to earn an income.».
