Warmi Huasi in Huyacan, Peru.

Warmi Huasi is the name that was given to the womens' centre in Huaycan, Peru which was opened by Sister Mary Neylon in 1997.  In the ancient language of Peru (Quechua) 'warmi' means woman and 'huasi'means house.

The promary purpose of this centre is to improve women's self esteem.  Courses and workshops are offered in leadership, empowerement and cultural appreciation.

In addition, the centre is open daily so that the women can drop in to sit for a while and chat or work on projects.

The Centre has an outreach programme to
the various zones of HUAYCAN and through which women can develop their skills
as well as work on the many aspects which affect their daily lives;e:g. violence; denial and abuse of their basic human rights etc.
