About Us

Our History

Help Peru is a U.S.-registered nonprofit organization formed by the Peruvian diaspora over 11 years ago. Our mission, to Build a Better Future for Peru’s most vulnerable populations, is accomplished by working in partnership with local leaders and community organizations to develop, grow, and support sustainable programs while building a culture of philanthropy within Peru.

We design projects with local partners that use education, environment, and health as entry points into broader community development initiatives. In addition to program development & management services, we provide our partners with funding and on-site technical assistance that covers monitoring & evaluation, training, and organizational development.

We address sustainability by working with our partners to plan from the beginning for the end of our support. This process builds trust, enhances ownership, reduces dependency, and results in more resilient communities. All our projects include initiatives related to women’s empowerment, gender equity, and climate change as transversal themes. We are working with 9 program partners to implement projects that will benefit approximately 3,500 Peruvians in 2024.
