Morado K’asa

Biblioteca Villa Zamora

Morado Kasa is a special place for Biblioworks. It is here where our work started in 2005. Morado Kasa is a small agricultural community that relies on the cultivation of potatoes, corn, tomatoes, and peaches, among other crops. Its residents predominantly speak Quechua, and even the younger generations continue to speak Quechua as their first language.

The library was founded at the request of the community youth group JUSIBA, which proposed the idea to its Peace Corps volunteer, Megan Sherar. The community itself constructed the library facility in early 2005. The people of Morado K’asa remain at the heart of Biblioteca Villa Zamora and BiblioWorks.
