IMPROVING HEALTH BY EMPOWERING PROMOTORAS Sacred Valley Health is a communitybased public health nonprofit formed in 2012 to improve access to healthcare in remote communities of Perus Sacred Valley. Our core purpose is to improve the health and wellbeing of these underserved marginalized communities through a community health worker program that empowers local women with education resources professional development and economic opportunities The Need We work in partnership with vibrant indigenous communities located high in the Andean mountains of Perus Sacred Valley.
