Peru

A Family for Vulnerable Children

NPH Peru has been serving in Peru since 2004. Its facilities are located in the district of San Vicente, province of Cañete, two hours south of Lima. The 15-hectare property features family-style homes, where approximately 30 children and adolescents reside, receiving the care, love, and support they need to overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

The Residential Care Program provides essential services such as education, healthcare, nutrition, clothing, and recreational activities. The care model is based on a family-like environment, which fosters comprehensive development and social integration.

Through the Access to Education Project, children and adolescents receive school materials and academic support to study in public primary and secondary schools. Additionally, educational scholarships help students who reach adulthood continue their technical or university studies by providing financial assistance for education, food, and housing, as well as guidance in their transition to independent living.

Our Projects

The Right to Live in a Family Project ensures that children grow up in a nurturing family environment. A team of psychologists and social workers provides follow-up and support to families, strengthening their ability to provide responsible and loving care.

The Family Empowerment Program promotes the well-being and holistic development of children, adolescents, youth, and families in vulnerable communities across Cañete. Through the Father Wasson Community Family Center, families receive comprehensive support in health, nutrition, education, and economic empowerment, ensuring the protection and well-being of all beneficiaries.

NPH Peru is supported by over 50 dedicated staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to improve the lives of vulnerable children, youth, and families, recognizing them as the foundation of a stronger society.

“Growing up in NPH I had important role models over the years. They taught me what it means to serve as one’s vocation. Each day we provide the kind of support that is fundamental for our children to achieve their own goals.”

– Rafael Arce, National Director, Hermano mayor

Values

PROTECTION

The essence of NPH Peru’s mission is to create a loving and safe family environment for children and youth who come from situations of extreme vulnerability. NPH provides them with services focused on education, medical care, food and clothing in an environment of security, support and unconditional love based on Christian values, which gives the children the best chance of success to become leaders in their own communities.

At NPH Peru we focus on providing educational programs, vocational guidance and other support services that prepare youth to begin adult life by securing a first job with dignity. The key result is the achievement of financial independence, autonomy and a responsible character, thus contributing to the sustainable reduction of generational poverty.

PREPARATION

EDUCATION

We believe that quality education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and improving children’s lives. Our goal is to help disadvantaged children achieve their full potential through our educational programs. From providing each child with all the necessary school supplies to supporting university students in the transition to their college life, whose education is supported completely or a majority mostly by NPH.
