The Projects You Will Visit In Peru

Peru is the newest country Edukid has been working in. Our support helps children access their right to an education. Many children attend school without sufficient food, leading to stunted growth, poor health, low concentration levels and low academic performance.

We support local schools with a feeding programme to ensure every child receives a nutritional meal.

All of the projects we run link directly to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG’s) such as nutrition, gender and sustainable energy. You can read more about our work below.
