Children from an Andean community waving in their Sonqo thermal jackets
#WarmthFromTheHeart

Warmth from the heart

The cold season shows no mercy high in the Andes. Every jacket we make and hand-deliver means one less child left out in the cold.

What do we do?

We bring warmth where it's coldest

At Sonqo we bring warmth to children in the coldest, highest places of Peru. Every winter the cold season drops below −20 °C and hits the high-Andean communities hardest — the ones with the least help.

We are 100% Ad Honorem, with no political affiliation. Every cent you entrust to us becomes, in full, the making and delivery of a thermal jacket. No middlemen.

  • 100% Ad Honorem
  • Non-profit
  • Every sol goes to jackets

How do we do it?

From your donation to their hands, in three steps

  • 01

    We fundraise

    Every donation and charity event throughout the year adds up to clothe more children.

  • 02

    We make

    We produce blue thermal jackets at cost, with no profit — built to beat the cold.

  • 03

    We deliver

    We climb up to the communities and place each jacket in its child's hands. One by one.

How far we go

All the way to the last community

We travel to the highest, most remote communities of Peru, where no one else reaches, to deliver each jacket in person, child by child.

About us

Born to bring warmth

Andean children kept warm with Sonqo jackets

Sonqo was born in 2016 from a group of Markham College alumni, united by one conviction: no Peruvian child should be cold.

We are a formally registered non-profit organization. The whole team works ad honorem, so every sol you donate goes, in full, to making and delivering jackets.

We account for every campaign and every community we visit. Full transparency — because your trust warms as much as a jacket.
