About Us
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.

Volunteers will stay in a homestay with a local family. They can expect to share a room with one or two other volunteers. We highly recommend staying with a host family, as it provides a great opportunity to experience the Peruvian way of life, meet local people, enjoy traditional food, practice Spanish, and engage in local customs and traditions.
Volunteers will share bathrooms and common areas with other volunteers and members of the host family.
Two meals are included (breakfast and dinner). Volunteers can expect to experience a variety of flavours and meals during their stay, as Peruvian cuisine is diverse and rich. We will be happy to inform the host family of any special dietary requirements. Please let us know in advance so that appropriate arrangements can be made for you.
On weekends, volunteers have free time and can usually relax or explore their local town and other parts of Peru. During longer weekends, they may choose to travel further afield to places such as Machu Picchu, Colca Canyon, or Lake Titicaca.
At PEVolunteer, we also organize fun and interesting tours for our volunteers, so feel free to let us know where you would like to go!
