Help build orphanages, schools, and homes in rural towns when you volunteer with our Build a Better Peru Project.
Peruvians are among the world’s poorest people, with more than 50 percent of families living below the poverty line and 25 percent living in extreme poverty. Many residents lack a proper home and malnutrition is widespread, particularly among children. Although the country has experienced impressive economic growth in recent years, Peru’s neediest communities have been left behind. The picture is especially bleak in rural areas, which rarely receive government support.
As a volunteer with our Build a Better Peru Project, you will work in rural areas outside Cusco to repair or build orphanages, schools and homes. The work will be physically demanding, as volunteers will dig foundations, carry bricks, mix cement, and paint walls. Your hard work as a volunteer with the Build a Better Peru Project will provide much-needed facilities and support for the country’s most deprived residents. From the ground up, you will help construct a better future for those who need it most.
As a volunteer you can:
Help repair and/or build orphanages, schools and homes.
Work with local Peruvians to improve their towns and villages.
Provide much-needed facilities to poverty-stricken locals.
Live and work in an area of South America famous for its archeological ruins.
