Story
Yes, we're taking to the road again and as always we'd love you to sponsor us as we cycle with our Project Peru team to Paris. We need £1000 a year to keep each child in our refuge. Every penny you give will go to support our work in Peru. Imagine the smiles on the faces of the 52 children living with Project Peru as your sponsorship ensures their future under our welcoming roof!
Project Peru's refuge is an oasis in the desert shanty towns of Lima, a welcoming, caring, fun and above all a safe haven for all the children who live with us, and for all those who devote their time to looking after them and inspiring them. At the heart of our family in the refuge, of its activities, celebrations, and challenges, are the children, and our bike ride is dedicated to raising funds to enable us to go on supporting the growing number of children from extreme poverty and great moral risk whose home is Project Peru.
Of course we continue to build houses, to support the local shanty town areas and forgotten Andean communities in very practical ways, and our secret garden is producing amazing organic salads and vegetables and fruit trees, the library is inspiring everyone with reading groups where children discover new worlds, and we have our new hairdressing 'salon', teaching new skills. So many positive outcomes achieved through music, dance, play therapy and much, much more, despite the huge challenges we face every day.
Your generosity empowers Project Peru to go on supporting those living in extreme poverty, offering dignity and independence, and breaking the cycle of poverty.
A huge thank you! Viva Project Peru...and you!
