Proyecto Peru began in 2005 in the heart of Cusco, inspired by the vision of Dora, a local Peruvian educator who wanted to share the Spanish language and support her community. Together with her partner Coen, she developed this idea into a network of dedicated professionals who work closely with local organizations and international participants. Today, our team focuses on creating meaningful cross-cultural experiences through well-structured volunteer and internship programs. Participants engage directly with Cusco’s social, health, and education sectors by supporting partner projects such as schools, community agencies, clinics, nonprofits, animal shelters, and after-school programs that request specific skills. We also offer Spanish immersion courses and comfortable local accommodation to help you experience everyday life in Cusco. Our curated tours provide the opportunity to explore the city’s rich history, vibrant culture, and surrounding landscapes while deepening your understanding of Peru.
The children in the projects we work with require a great deal of care, attention, and most importantly, companionship. Volunteers can organize extra activities such as: - Recreational activities (yoga, sports, arts, and crafts) - Helping children with homework - Playing, dancing, painting, and singing with the children - Assisting with day-to-day tasks at the institution - Building the self-esteem and confidence of the children Children aged 1 to 5 years attend our program, where the main goal is to teach basic skills such as colors, language, music, and numbers, while helping them grow in a safe, clean, and supportive environment where they feel loved, cared for, and strong. There are about 50 children attending our program. Their families often come from low-income households or broken families. Some of the children are orphans and are cared for by relatives. Note: The project is available from March to November.
