Juan Diego Calisto
Director,Ruwasunchis
Born and raised in Lima. I studied Economics in the UNALM in Lima, and after that lived in other regions of Peru: Ancash and Cusco. There I worked in rural development projects with peasant communities.
Seven years ago I went to Manchay, an urban-marginal city in the surroundings of Lima, and I decided to start social projects there. Four years ago I founded the NGO Ruwasunchis with some friends. I am the actual president of the organization. We develop social projects in Manchay: with kids we work creativity and arts, with young people we give them a platform of opportunities, with the mothers (mostly affected by political violence) we work inclusive business, and we give psychological counseling and promote the integral development of all the community that we work with.
I wrote a book about a part of my history, that mixes dreams, hope, and reality, and happens in Cusco, called "La Búsqueda de Juno".
I also work in another NGO, CooperAcción, that promote rights and develop capacities in peasant communities.
I am studying a master in Social Management in the PUCP, in Lima.
