Pampamisayoc Tomas is currently seeking to buy land beside his family’s home in the province of Paucartambo so that they can have open land to grow a proper Chakra garden. Given the continued circumstances of economic decline due to lack of tourism caused by the pandemic, the income Tomas and his family receive for their ceremonial and artesania work is very low.

They live off of what they can grow in their small homestead chakra including Corn and Potato which each harvest lasts approx 1 week for their family of 8 - his wife, 4 children and his mother and father.

While they have now adapted to buying common needs for food including rice, vegetables and fruit, they are devoted to maintaining their traditions alive by growing their own food and eating traditionally as their descendants did.

The current chakra will then become a space built as an Artesania Taller (studio) for Lucia to have a dedicated place for crafting and for passing on the knowledge to her children.

100% of donations directly fund Tomas and family.
