How we work

In Huancayo, Peru, families endure desperate conditions. They live in run-down areas, shantytowns, or villages with inadequate housing lacking sanitation and basic necessities like doors and windows.

For these children, education is a distant dream. Although education in Peru is technically free, the reality is different. Registration fees, uniforms, and school supplies are unaffordable.

Through our sponsorship scheme and donations, we ensure every child in a family receives the supplies needed to attend school until the end of their secondary studies. We also work tirelessly to obtain birth certificates, often missing due to financial constraints. Without proper identification, these children are denied access to education.

We go further by addressing urgent housing needs, providing roofing, doors, windows, furniture, and bedding. By improving living conditions, we restore dignity and create safe havens in which the children can thrive.

Yet, our support extends beyond education and shelter. We believe in the power of joy. Bi-monthly birthday parties and Christmas celebrations are held, where the children can enjoy games, food, presents and experience the true spirit of the season.

At The Peru Children's Trust, we prioritise holistic wellbeing. Family guidance, counselling, and Christian teachings are integral, providing a solid foundation for emotional and spiritual growth.

With your help, we can break the cycle of poverty and ignite hope where it's needed most.
