We are currently working with Samusocial Peru, in Huaycan, a pueblo joven (poor neighborhood) near Lima.
In 2006 we bought their second ambulance & we started a program to aid fight against tuberculosis in Huaycan.
In 2007 we continued the tuberculosis effort, we financed a grant to a school in Huaycan so that a new building could be constructed.
In 2008 we intensified the tuberculosis effort and we financed the construction of a second building for the Huaycan school.

In 2007 we started with MMFC (Medical Missions for Children) as we sponsored their October 2007 mission to Cuzco when a team of 26 doctors, surgeons, dentist & medical personnel provided free surgical & dental services to poor kids with cleft lips and palates.
In 2008 we sponsored again the Cuzco mission (May 2008), where more than 60 children got surgery.
This last May 2009, the 3rd mission sponsored by the Children of Peru Foundation took place and 49 children got surgery (60 procedures in total), including microtias.

After the August 2007 earthquake, we financed a SamusocialPeru mission to Pisco, one of the hardest hit city. Specialists arrived the very next day and participated in the emergency effort. Our team then worked with French firemen and installed with them a water cleaning system near Pisco.
