Education & nutrition for children in Peru

As you may have seen in the news, Latin America is currently a major hotspot for Covid-19. We are putting a priority on immediate vital emergency food supplies to the families, especially for the elderly and disabled, and hygiene products for the schools during the current Covid-19 pandemic. Perú has one of the highest mortality rates in the region with case numbers surging each day. Lockdowns, restrictions on travel and isolation have taken a heavy toll in the communities as well.

There are currently no plans to re-open the schools in the region where we work and with limited acces to the internet remote learning has been challenging although our local teachers have tried their best. Once Covid-19 allows it is hoped we can double up learning to at least bring the children up to a decent level depending on their grade to be prepared for 2021 and the news school year.  

To give us a big boost GlobalGiving will be 50% matching all donations up to $50 between 14th-18th September as we aim to provide tonnes of emergency food supplies including pastas, rice, cooking oil, salt, sugar, oatmeal, sardines and other items to hundreds of families as well as boxes of soaps, hand sanitizers, fase masks and disinfectants for all our classrooms in all our countries.  

With your brilliant donations, matched at 50% up to $50 by GlobalGiving, we will be able to make huge inroads into our Covid-19 response across all our communities in Latin America.

Thank you so much for anything you can donate to our immediate emergency food programme. Please feel free to share this with friends, family and work colleagues as every little helps!
Cheers
