To help break the poverty cycle
by promoting education and micro-enterprises, while
supporting health and nutrition, and alleviating
specific hindering hardships on needy families.
To help accomplish this, the
Love for Peru Foundation has developed a comprehensive
database program that serves to capture detailed
information from all the people that are assisted
by the foundation. This databank provides the necessary
platform from where to identify and prioritize
needs, and is instrumental to procure and better
derive resources.
Areas
Where You Can Help
Education (school supplies and uniforms, scholarships
for trade schools and college, arts and music,
etc.)
Medical (surgeries, treatment of illnesses,
rehab, eye care, dental care, etc.)
Housing (replacement of cardboard and straw
dwellings, installation of tin roofs, concrete
slabs, as well as assistance for homeowners
to obtain property titles)
Family Needs (food baskets, appliances, furniture,
blankets, clothing, seed money for businesses,
etc.)
Projects (libraries, water, waste treatment,
community kitchens, training and income generating
shops, etc.)
General Fund (wherever needed the most)
The assistance will be allocated
by area and distributed by categories according
to need, to be identified and generated by our
proprietary databank system.
Note:The
Empowerment Program does not contemplate for the
exclusive sponsorship of children, though the Love
for Peru Foundation strongly encourages team members
and the Foundation supporters to foster ‘big-brother’ type
relationships and long-lasting friendships with
the children and families in Peru. The reason exclusive
sponsorship is not being contemplated is to safeguard
the children's character, integrity, and self-esteem,
as it will prevent all unsponsored children from
feeling left out. The Love for Peru Foundation
firmly believes it is imperative for us to always
live by our mission motto: 'All for One, and One
for All'.
