| Construction |
Construction
Though not considered a final goal of NeVo's work, construction is an important part of forming relationship built on trust and concrete results with our beneficiaries. We therefore strive to improve basic infrastructure in Urubamba and surrounding communities with the goal of covering basic needs (housing, schooling, health care) and promoting income-generation (tourist services, basic infrastructure for businesses). *Only available for groups of 10 or more with a minimum stay of 1 week. |
| Business and Development |
For-Profit components within NeVo’s projects
NeVo is notcurrently developing a project focused strictly on business or entrepreneurship, but components of several of our projectsinvolve business and entrepreneurship-related activities and goals.
We therefore seek the participation of individuals withbusiness administration and marketing backgrounds to contribute to theself-sustainability of the Kuychi Wasi project and increased income for the residents of Media Lunathrough the tourism initiative on which the CommunityDevelopment Project is currently focusing.
It is important that collaborators on these projects appreciatethe importance of entrepreneurial activities in places like Urubamba, where alarge portion of the population is excluded from the formal economy and livesin conditions of poverty. However, it is also important that they realize thatthey require flexibility, patience, and persistence on behalf of the volunteerswho help to develop them, since the environment in which these individuals workis heavily affected by the social and cultural customs and lack of resources ofNeVo’s partners and beneficiaries.
