Welcome to Vanishing Cultures Foundation
Our Mission
Vanishing Cultures Foundation, Inc. was created to support the indigenous people of Peru by preserving their spiritual lineage and supporting their economic development.
The VCF Board of Directors are volunteer positions. Your donations go directly to VCF programs.
December 12 is the anniversary of the passing of Don Manuel Quispe. I invite you all to light a white candle and remember the teachings he shared with us all. Remember the beauty and strength of his heart. He was not an Inca, he was not a god. He was a simple farmer and weaver. Yet his passion for sharing his tradition was a gift to us all.
During your Solstice Ceremony, remember to add a special kintu for all the gifts and teachings we walk with everyday.
Remember his greatest teaching...even the gods need to know how to grow corn!
- Coming soon, "The Tales of the Journey to the Q'ero Villages". This year VCF not only supplied Veterinary medicines for the alpaca and llama, school supplies, dental supplies, AND worked in partnership with Waves for Water....we delivered water filters for each family in Chua Chua and Challma Chimpana (formerly Yawacancha)!
