Children’s Home Assistant in Huanchaco!

La experiencia

A Peruvian’s childhood is one of the most vulnerable and unprotected periods of his or her life. Two thirds of children under the age of 5 live in poverty, and 2 out of 10 live in extreme poverty. We partner with a non profit local children’s home aiming to help sustain boys who mostly come from dysfunctional families with major economic and domestic abuse problems.
