Andahuaylas is the capital of the Andahuaylas Province in the Apurímac Region. It is known as the pradera de los celajes (Spanish for "prairie of colored clouds") and located in southern-central Peru

Little is known about the regions origins. However, chroniclers note that the first settlers were formed by tribes of several regions originating among the Quechua and Aymaras.

The National Peruvian Statistic Office identified the Apurimac region one of the two poorest states in Peru, with 27.5% of the region’s population reported living at poverty level.

Having witnessed how Coprodeli has changed the lives of young boy and girls, their families, and communities. In 2021, Andahualyas local officials invited Coprodeli to undertake schools that were underperforming under the public-school system and turn them into public charter schools as was previously done in the San Martin region.

Little by little we’ve seen enrolled go up and students displaying proper etiquette, school spirit and helping those in need. Forming student into responsible and caring adults.

Coprodeli's Initiative in Andahuaylas

Andahuaylas had urban-shanty towns where people here often live off of what they made that day. Children had to work, missing meals, generating malnutrition and growing up without a proper education.

Taking notice of this Coprodeli developed it first two programs lines to begin intervening with the public in these areas by way of Education and Humanitarian Aid.
