ONE MORE CHILD
Peru is famous for its many landmarks! The Machu Picchu is the most popular and therefore the most visited attraction. But there is more: the Inca trail, the Amazon rainforest, and the Rainbow Mountains offer stunning views of this country located in South America.
But behind all the beauty, the country is also facing many challenges. Instability due to political unrest and corrupt governments hinders lasting growth. While the poverty rate has dropped significantly in the last decade, it remains high at around 30%, up to 55% in rural areas. Many children temporarily or permanently drop out of school, in fact about 25-30% of children aged 6-14 work to support their families financially. (World Factbook, 2024)
By partnering with a ministry in Peru, One More Child is actively fighting these social issues, bringing hope and lasting change to individuals in this area.
OUR IMPACT IN PERU
Mission Trips
Short-term mission teams have the opportunity to serve and support our ministry partners in Peru in their daily activities such as distributing food, interacting with children we serve, participating in school, providing medical care, and more.
Community Development
We work with vulnerable children in remote mountain areas. Many children in these communities are placed in residential care since their immediate families are unable to meet their needs and adequately care for them. Through one of our partnerships in Peru, we focus on this group of children, especially those aging out of the residential program, by providing education, training, and life skills to to help with their transition into adulthood.
