Our mission is to help the children of Peru keep their smiles.

We work to bridge the gap between home and school for children living in Ccorca; a small Quechua district nestled high in the Andes of Southern Peru.

The Gap?

We are essentially working to combat two problems:

- The Physical Gap: a 4-hour walk between home and school

- The Educational Gap: an irrelevant curriculum that alienates indigenous children

We manage three boarding houses which bridge the physical gap for 64 children, who previously walked up to 8 hours daily to get to school.

We help schools offer a relevant education, ensuring children don’t lose touch with their community, their families and ultimately themselves.
