Responsible People

In this way, we can help the long-term viability of the planet for our future generations.

Why are we different?
Enterprises allied to the “Responsible People” are uniquely linked with tourism. The activity of the foundation is self-sustaining thanks to travelers coming to Peru.
While other development projects usually generate positive results in a period of over 3 to 5 years, our projects have obtained positive outcomes within the first year of existence. In the case of some of our previous activities, we have seen continuous growth in more than a year.
Responsible People Model
As a social enterprise incubator in the tourism industry, we work with groups involved in community development projects related to our business model. Our projects include services and products that are part of the tourism value chain such as meals, accommodation, handicrafts, transport and experience.
We provide trainings and grants to members of local native communities as well as we include their services or products into itineraries of individual tours. In addition, we mediate volunteer activities for those interested. In this way, we make our projects successful and sustainable for the long-term.
The Effect
The foundation of “Responsible People” means a chance and the beginning of a change. Once we start running more projects, their impacts will multiply within a related community.

How You Can Help
At Responsible People Foundation, we believe that everyone can make a difference. Your support — whether through volunteering, donating, or participating in our community projects — helps us continue improving lives and protecting the environment in the Andes of Peru.
Join us on the ground and experience the joy of giving back! Our volunteer programs take you directly into Andean communities, where you can help with education, health campaigns, environmental protection, and reforestation projects. Volunteering is not only about helping others — it’s about learning from the people, culture, and natural beauty of Peru. Every volunteer becomes part of our family and contributes to creating lasting change.
Your donation, no matter the size, makes a real impact. Contributions support our tree planting campaigns, school supply donations, clean water projects, and medical assistance for families in need. All donations go directly toward funding community initiatives and expanding our reach to remote Andean villages. Together, we can create opportunities and preserve the environment for future generations.
Be part of our mission wherever you are! You can join awareness campaigns, share our cause on social media, or organize fundraising events in your community. Every action — big or small — helps us continue promoting responsible tourism and sustainable development in Peru. Another powerful way to help is by traveling with our official partner tour operators — Tierras Vivas, Inca Trail Machu, Salkantay Trek Machu, Machu Picchut Travel, and Travel Tour Group. When you book your trip through these responsible companies, a portion of your travel investment goes directly to our foundation’s social and environmental projects. This means your adventure not only creates unforgettable memories but also helps provide clean water, reforest native areas, and support education in remote Andean communities. Whether you volunteer, donate, or travel responsibly, you become part of a network of people committed to protecting nature and empowering local families.
