'Quilla', pronounced 'Kiya', is the Quechuan word for moon—the symbol of a new beginning.

Kiya Survivors aims to give just that. Through education, therapy, love, and laughter, we encourage new beginnings for children with special needs, abused & abandoned young people & families living in poverty.

As a Kiya volunteer, you will have the opportunity to work in eclectic environments in Andean or coastal villages, supporting our Peruvian teams in making a real difference to people. 

Kiya is looking for enthusiastic individuals, groups, & families to join us in Peru & help hands-on in our projects.

Whether you support our work by volunteering your time as a social media manager helping increase our audience and online presence, developing your skills further by shadowing our trained therapists or help organise parent/family workshops, have the assurance your skills are useful and will have a direct & positive impact on the children & families we are supporting along with the local communities we work in.

We have run volunteer programs since 2002, so we have years of experience.
