Building a better future for Peru’s most vulnerable communities

In partnership. With purpose. For lasting impact.

Who We Are

Help Peru is a U.S. 501(c)(3) registered public charity founded by the Peruvian diaspora in 2013.

We work in close partnership with local leaders and community organizations to design, grow, and support sustainable development programs across Peru. Our entry points in health, education, and environment are pathways to broader community transformation.

We believe in building community resilience to promote long-term, sustainable development. We do this by working in close collaboration with local, trusted nonprofit organizations. Our support includes funding and organizational capacity-building through training, technical assistance, and monitoring and evaluation. This approach ensures that all our programs are developed using a participatory methodology and implemented in a culturally sensitive manner.

Every project we support integrates gender equity, women’s empowerment, and climate change as cross-cutting themes. In 2025, we’re working with 12 program partners to improve the lives of more than 30,000 Peruvians.

What We Believe

Everyone deserves dignity and respect, regardless of their circumstances.

Women must be at the center of the development process to achieve lasting, sustainable change.

Communities engage in the development process as active partners in shaping their future, not as passive recipients of aid.

Accountability matters, not only to donors but also to the communities we serve.

Every community has something valuable to offer; our programs are built on these local strengths.
