YOUR DONATIONS WILL HELP US TO HELP OTHERS

All our work is done by volunteers, we don’t pay salaries. Buying our Publications, Acquiring Peruvian Craft or Jewellery, is a form of your giving. Becoming a Partner is a great way of supporting our work so we can continue helping families in the United Kingdom and in Peru. We also would like to carry on helping many British mothers, and fathers, who come to our workshops in order to find their first steps to their own recovery. We also would like to build a community centre in the South of Lima where families can learn new skills in order to improve their way of living and come out of poverty.
