KOSHI is a nonprofit association dedicated to participate actively in the
educational and cultural life of the population in the Peruvian Amazon. We aim
to promote knowledge transfer, to encourage diversity and tolerance and to foster
culture as a driving force for local development and social welfare. Our work is
combined with a vision of a conscious socio- economic growth and social
inclusion for the most vulnerable parts of the population, specifically
children, youth and women.Our main goal and focus is to promote activities of knowledge and skills
sharing and to stimulate cultural expression. Traditional knowledge is
an important resource not only for local communities but also for
humanity, it is a source of intangible and material wealth that needs to
be protected and promoted. On the other hand, other forms of modern
abilities and information are important to help this intercultural
exchange and to stimulate socio-cultural development of the world’s
population.
