About Us
Peru is in a state of emergency because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the country has basically come to a stand-still.
There are thousands of Venezuelan refugees who don’t have access to government help or family support.

What are we doing?
We’re providing emergency food for over 700 families.
