Wiñay Maki is a family business founded by a family of Ayacucho in Peru. Their main goal is to offer an employment to women with no education and often illiterate; therefore ensuring a decent life for their families and an education for their children.

They live in a very basic and simple little house in the outskirts of Ayacucho. Their humility and generosity make them artisans and a family with a big heart and humanity.
