People Accompanying People

We provide free palliative care and integral support to vulnerable families experiencing an illness that threatens or limits the life of one of their children.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

Help us finish the construction and equip the hospice, and be part of the Casa Khuyana family.

Please, watch “The Casa Khuyana Story”

If we cannot add days to
a child's life, we will add life to their days.

Palliative Care focuses on the person, not on the illness.

When a cure is not possible, we can still accompany and care.

Casa Khuyana is the first pediatric hospice in Peru

Our Mission

The Casa Khuyana Association is building the first pediatric hospice (palliative care home) in Peru, located in the Sacred Valley. We will provide, at no cost, loving, professional care, support and companionship to children and teenagers with chronic or life-threatening illnesses, and their families. Casa Khuyana’s multidisciplinary professional team will address the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs of each child and their family. At the new Casa Khuyana Hospice, every child and their family will be able to be together, without having to worry about anything except sharing quality time.

We will celebrate every moment, every day, and every life.

What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life for patients and their families in the face of the challenges associated with life-threatening illnesses. The caregivers focus on providing patients with relief from pain and other symptoms, whatever the diagnosis, as well as offering emotional, social and spiritual support to the child and their family. 

Palliative care is provided by a multidisciplinary team of professionals that includes doctors, nurses, psychologists, therapists, and other specialists who work to provide comfort and well-being.

 

Death is an instant, everything else is life. Palliative care is there so that all of their life is the best it can possibly be.
