Children’s Health Citadel “Virgin of VIDAWASI”

We were born to bring hope of life to the children of Peru; we have built the first Children’s Health Citadel of Latin America, “Virgen de VIDAWASI”, located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Cusco.

Social impact

Since our opening in December 2021, we have marked a turning point in the history of children’s health in Peru.

In a country where 90% of specialized pediatric treatments are concentrated in Lima, we have brought essential medical services closer to thousands of children and families, avoiding long and costly journeys.

70% of children with complex diseases seeking care in Lima come from provinces, and many are diagnosed at advanced stages. With the inauguration of our Pediatric High Complexity Surgery Pavilion, we will be able to detect diseases in time and provide timely care.

In Peru, every year, more than 1,800 children are diagnosed with cancer. With our cancer prevention center, we will carry out timely diagnoses for timely care.

Faced with 43.1% of children suffering from anemia in Peru, we promote preventive health programs that allow us to reach more families.

Today, we are consolidated as the most emblematic social work in our country in favor of children’s health with more than 70,000 services provided to Peruvian children and families.

We have created the first Children’s Health Citadel in Peru and Latin America, a unique model that allows us to provide comprehensive care to children and families from the Andes of Peru.

Stories of Struggle

“I remember it like it was yesterday, the doctor telling me: we have to evacuate her to Lima, we have to operate on her immediately. And he told my wife: let's go for a miracle; we have the miracle.”

Fernando, Zoe's dad

"Then, as a messenger from God, VIDAWASI came into my life, became my second family, gave me security, and supported me until her bone marrow transplant was achieved"

Rocio, Araceli's mom

“If it were up to me, as his mother, I would give my own life for him. But I'm caught between a rock and a hard place, because I can't give my life for him.”

Damaris, Yonathan's mom

“I didn’t know what to do because what was happening to my daughter hurt me a lot, then I came to VIDAWASI, they welcomed me with kindness and affection; now I will arrive home with my daughter healthy.”

Vianne, Dafne's mom
