Building a future for Peru’s most at-risk children

For a boy abandoned and living on the street there is only one goal - to survive however he can. He will turn to begging, stealing, scavenging and prostitution. Street Children of Peru works with Scripture Union of Peru to break this spiral of desperation.

Work Teams

from the UK go out to Peru for two-four weeks practical building work. The teams of around 20 workers help build facilities for the children and spend time with them, playing sports and games and bringing joy. It is demanding but incredibly rewarding.

Child Sponsorship

provides funding for the running costs of children's refuges. Sponsors are provided with updates on the progress of a nominated child and news of how he and his ‘brothers’ have benefited from the sponsors’ help.

The Education Fund

provides the rare opportunity for young men to continue studying in college or university and increases their chances for a secure and fulfilling future.
