Helping Former Street Kids in Lima, Peru
Helping former street kids in Lima, Peru – www.thecolourofhope.org British Charity, The Colour of Hope, works to reduce poverty, advance education and promote employment among disadvantaged people in Peru. Our current priority is to help young people leaving care homes in Lima, Peru’s capital city. Most of these young people have previously been street children, suffering from physical and psychological abuse, extreme poverty and drug addiction. Once they grow up, they’re forced to leave their care homes, find a job and start supporting themselves, but the difficulties they’ve suffered, lack of support from their families and insufficient financial resources make this almost impossible. Many end up right back where they started — on the street. The Colour of Hope supports these marginalized and disadvantaged young adults as they leave their homes. We help them to integrate into their society and to find dignified employment. We give them a chance for change. Please contact us if you want to learn more about The Colour of Hope and our projects or if you’re interested in sponsoring a young adult, holding a fundraiser, making a donation or being a volunteer in Peru. Please help us to provide a chance – a chance for change. [email protected] thecolourofhope.blogspot.com
