Sivia is a town located in the country of Peru, in South America. It is the main town of the Sivia District. This district is part of the Huanta Province in the Ayacucho Region.
Sivia is found on the western side of the Apurímac River. Just across the river, about 3 kilometers (about 2 miles) away, is the town of Pichari. Both Sivia and Pichari are located in a special area known as the Valley of the Apurímac and Ene River. This area is often called the VRAE for short.
Life in the VRAE
The VRAE region is important to Peru. In 2007, the Peruvian government started a program there called the National Strategy for Growth. This program aims to help families and children in the VRAE area. It focuses on improving their health and well-being. The goal is to help everyone in the community grow strong and healthy.
