Friends of TOP

Part of our mission is to collaborate with other, like-minded individuals and organizations. Friends of TOP, are people working in Peru to better the lives of indigenous people. We encourage you to visit each of their websites and to learn more about what they're working on. You may even wish to take part in some of their projects. You may also be part of an organization yourself who is working in ways that may compliment the efforts of any or all of our friends. Whatever the case, we encourage a dialogue; share your experiences and benefit from those of others.

“Our core belief is that all of us working together is much stronger than any of us working alone.”

Threads of Peru seeks to strengthen the weavers, their communities, and the people that care about them through collaboration and the sharing of information. If you are presently working with indigenous weavers in the Sacred Valley of Peru, and are interested in becoming a Friend of TOP, please contact us. We'd like to learn more about your work and discuss how we can help each other.

Thank you.

Awamaki's primary focus is our weaving project, which works with 30 impoverished indigenous women weavers from the rural community of Patacancha, in the Patacancha Valley high above the town of Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley. The project works toward revitalizing the endangered weaving tradition, and to improve the well-being of indigenous women and their families. awamaki.org
