About Peru
Peru is a nation whose diverse, natural beauty ranges from the snow-capped peaks of the Andes to the dense rainforests of the Amazon. Peru possesses a wealth of indigenous culture and numerous historical sites, including the ancient Inca ruins of Machu Picchu.
Overcoming several brief periods of instability, modern Peru is thriving. Although the economy is growing at a rapid pace, dramatic income inequality and widespread government corruption continue to plague society.
Recent trends toward urbanization have left those in rural communities largely neglected, with nearly 50 percent of rural residents living in poverty. Many of these families lack access to medical care, sufficient nutrition, and quality education.

How Sponsorship Works

Why sponsor a child?
“Child sponsorship is very rewarding because you know you're making a difference for that child. But the blessing you will receive far surpasses even the difference you make in the children's lives. You will see God at work!”
— Lita, Kentucky
“Sponsoring two little girls from Guatemala has changed the way I see life. As Christ-followers, we are called to love God and love others. I believe that we love God through loving others, and child sponsorship gives us the opportunity to do that.”
— Kayla, Virginia
“I believe child sponsorship is a way to touch the future. It's important to invest in the next generation, both here and around the world.”
— Margaret, California
