Change a child’s life today by sponsoring his education

Sponsor a Peruvian Child

Children waiting for sponsorship

Help Women and Children is a UK Christian support group that work in conjunction with Peruvian charity Help Children. Noemi Chuquivala, Help Children Director, works with these families on a voluntary bases, her work involves counselling and coordination of activities.

Our aim is to give Peruvian children a good start in life, releasing them from poverty and enabling them to become fulfilled adults. By providing the necessary materials for them to attend school we change their future and the lives of their families. We have chosen these children from low income mothers who have suffered physical, emotional abuse and trauma. They live in the district of Chorrillos in the Southeast of Lima. It has a population that live in extreme poverty and high percentage of unemployment and therefore the mothers cannot afford to pay for education for their children who are the ones who suffer the most in this situation. It seems that these families are stuck in the poverty cycle but once they become part of the charity their lives resurface with hope and dreams fro the future.

Covering school education

Sponsoring a Child

You can sponsor a child for £23 per month which covers cost of uniforms & school materials as well as basic healthcare. We will send you a couple of children waiting to be sponsored and after you have made your decision you can fill in an application form to forward your payment.Once you have been designed a child you will receive a yearly report on his/ her wellbeing and improvement in different areas. We encourage each sponsored child to write twice a year to their sponsors so you would receive 2 letters a year from him/her. Sponsoring a child’s education brings positives changes not only in the sponsored child but in his whole family due to the monthly parenting training and on-going counselling for the whole family based in Christian values.

Helping the whole family

Being a listening ear.- We have 15 families in our programme where they receive on going counselling. This work is done by constant visits and through the monthly therapeutic workshops at the office.
Promote small businesses.- We believe in these hard working women and we have invested in them with great success.
With a little capital families have started small businesses bringing joy and hope to their lives. Some of their products are shown in this brochure & on our website.

Other ways that you can get involved

At Help Children in Lima we like to improve the life of the whole family and we are achieving this by helping some mothers to reach their potential by setting up small business for them. What Banks will never do-lend to the poor- we have done. With a little capital families have started small businesses bringing joy and hope to their lives.

There are many ways that you can get more involved in taking these families out of poverty. One of them is word of mouth. At the moment there are 12 children waiting for sponsorship and your friends or family members could change their lives for as little as £23 per month. You could raise money by going to Peru as a volunteer to teach a skill to these children or you could do something more adventures like doing the Inca Trail in Cuzco.

If you have not made your mind yet, please consider the option of becoming a partner. For £3.99 per month you will help us to carry on our work. Whatever you decision, please fill in the form and send it together with your payment to the address above or contact sponsor@helpwomenandchildren.org  for more information.
