PERU
PROJECT HOPE
An all-in-one project aimed at promoting
health, education, social interaction, economic
development, and the environment in Peru.
Project Hope calls for the transformation
of an entire area comprised of 9 communities
and close to 10,000 inhabitants, many of
whom live in cardboard and straw dwellings
with no running water or sewage, and surrounding
a large trash dump. Project Hope plans to
transform a trash dump into a recreational
park, build a composting center for the
trash to provide a source of valuable income
to the communities, install latrines, bring
water to those who don't have it accessible,
implement a housing program to replace all
cardboard houses with solid wood, educate
all families on caring for their health
and the environment, and promote education
as means to help break the poverty cycle.
COMPLEX FOR THE DISABLED
Comprised of over 200 members, and potentially
able to reach thousands, the Association
for the Disabled is a needy organization
that receives no support from the Peruvian
government. The Love For Peru Foundation
is helping build a complex for the disabled
which will provide rehabilitation services,
job training and income generation for the
local disabled community. Plans call for
the complex to have a rehab center, bakery,
carpentry shop, shoe repair, virtual library,
community kitchen and a bio-mechanical shop
for them to be able to fabricate and repair
their own prosthetics, crutches and wheelchairs.
