Our Work in Peru - Helping Families Through Donations

Lidia was given* a cooker and freezer to open a café. She serves breakfast at 5am-7am then she takes her children to school. She also prepares light lunches for bus drivers.
(£30 helps to buy cups, plates, cutlery and a thermos)

Jaqueline was given* a knitting machine and a year’s training to start her business. She has some clients now and her ponchos are sold at www.helpwomenandchildren.org
(£30 helps to buy wool)
*provided by sponsors. Average amount for setting up a small business is £100

The roof of this room was so badly damaged that it could have collapsed on top of the children at any moment.

With £20 we bought corrugated iron and this family bedroom is now safe and clean.

We provide food and drinks for the 13 families and the three volunteers of the charity. This is the only party they have during the year; therefore we also celebrate their birthdays

We buy small presents for each child and their siblings (approximately 50 children in total).

Look carefully at the state of the mattress that 2 of the children were sleeping on for some years. The lack of space to store clothes brought on some allergies.

We bought two small mattresses (£60) and 1 wardrobe (£60) and reorganized the room teaching health and safety regulations.
