Program Details

The CASA Project is a program dedicated to supporting underprivileged children in the Peruvian Andes by offering a safe and nurturing environment where they can receive help with their studies, engage in creative activities, and enjoy playful moments after school. You’ll play a key role in fostering their growth—both academically and emotionally—while providing the love and care they might lack at home. Here’s how:

• Academic support: you’ll assist children with their homework, helping them grasp essential concepts and develop their intellectual skills in a supportive and fun environment.

• Creative activities: through arts, crafts, drawing, and painting, you’ll encourage their imagination, creativity, and self-expression, giving them a much-needed outlet for their energy and emotions.
