Feeding Children In Peru
In Their Own Words
Country: Peru
Year Founded: 1991
Who do they help? We are a Fair Trade organisation committed to promoting Peruvian Artisans and their handicraft. We partner with talented artisans across Peru to find new markets for their products, communicate trends in product design, and deliver ongoing capacity-building opportunities.
How do they help? 20% of the profits are directed to social work efforts such as helping a feeding programme for poor children providing warm meals, school uniforms and school supplies for them. We now provide scholarships for children of artisans so that they can get a university degree. As part of our Meal Program we provide a nutritious breakfast to about 300 children from ages 2 and 16
Special Thanks to: Christine for you friendly help, and allowing me to use your images
