Sisters Project Peru is a nonprofit project (co-founded by Maya Koehn-Wu, a fourth-year student and Natalie Koehn-Wu, her younger sister) dedicated to building a sustainable medical clinic in Huacahuasi, Peru. The Huacahuasi village is an indigenous community nestled in the Andes mountains, where the closest clinic is a three hour walk from the community. This results in a largely underserved community that struggles with medical care access. Building a clinic means better maternal healthcare, reducing maternal mortality, and eliminating preventable deaths from lack of access.
