Peru Champs
Transforming lives through good education
Help Peru supports Peru Champs, a nonprofit organization that provides scholarships and mentorship to high-achieving students from low-income families across Peru. By combining access to quality education with life skills and leadership training, Peru Champs helps young people become confident, compassionate leaders ready to create positive change in their communities.
Through their scholarships, students attend Innova Schools, where they receive a high-quality education that integrates academic excellence, personal development, and project-based learning.
What sets Peru Champs apart is their commitment to holistic growth. Beyond academics, students engage in:
- Mentorship and coaching focused on values, purpose, and leadership
- Small-scale social innovation projects designed and implemented by the students themselves
- Opportunities to develop soft skills, including communication, teamwork, and critical thinking
- VIVE 360°, a specialized program that strengthens socioemotional skills, leadership, resilience, and healthy habits through structured workshops and guided reflection.
This model creates a new generation of Peruvian leaders, young people who not only overcome adversity but go on to build more just, inclusive, and sustainable communities.
