You are at the right path, however..

It should be:

sys.path.append("/home/ec2-user/wep-rs/WEPR/weprs/api/")
from voucher import Voucher # or just import voucher

In the example I am showing you, from voucher import Voucher tries to import the Voucher class from /home/ec2-user/wep-rs/WEPR/weprs/api/voucher.py.

Otherwise, in your way, you're trying to access /home/ec2-user/wep-rs/WEPR/weprs/api/api/voucher.py.
Also, keep in mind that there must be an __init.py__ file in the directories.
