Peru

In the past decade, Peru’s economy has grown steadily, but income inequity still leaves millions of children living in poverty. In remote rural areas and “less desirable” urban neighbourhoods, poverty remains deep and has led us to run programs to train adults and youth in skills that will help them improve family income.

World Vision Peru

Since we began working in Peru more than 40 years ago, our comprehensive programs for the well-being of children have managed to impact the lives of more than one and a half million girls, boys, and adolescents in more than 800 urban and rural communities in the vulnerable areas of Lima, Ancash, La Libertad, Huancavelica, Ayacucho, Cusco, Tacna, Tumbes and Loreto.

Our international and local experience allows us to develop sustainable change projects that create safer and healthier environments for the most vulnerable. To do this, our intervention model seeks social transformation based on action at all levels: boys and girls, their families and their communities.
