Our mission is to improve the lives of desperately poor children by providing tangible  benefits and services that meet their basic needs, enhance their self-esteem and raise their physical and educational levels in a meaningful and lasting way. Through the generous donations of contributors, this vision is becoming reality. Our poverty-stricken children at Center Thomas Helm Callao, Peru are growing up healthier, happier and living life with more hope, thanks to the ongoing support of Hope for Peru.

What have we accomplished:

Through  gifts and other contributions, Hope for Peru provides needy children with many of life’s most important essentials. These include: 

• Regular medical exams, nutritional screenings and, if needed, follow-up care and medicine.
  
• Dental screenings and follow-up care as needed.
  
• Educational assistance such as school supplies, uniforms and assistance with tuition and school fees.
  
• New and used clothing and shoes.
  
• We have installed a water purification system at the center.  The water supply in Callao is highly contaminated, leading to many cases of gastrointestinal disease.  The new filtration system gives us safe water for drinking and cooking at the center.

Hope for Peru also helps families and  with programs such as:

• Medical exams  and treatment.
  
• Improving access to good-quality of life.
