Rosario in Huancayo Peru had an urgent water with their water supply needing
fresh water to clean, cook and bath with. The Andean Outreach Program funded,
designed and built 4 fresh water cisterns constituting 70% of the orphanages
water supply. The project was volunteer lead and improved hygeine, sanitation,
and nutrtion
Aldea
Francisca Mayer is an all girls orphanage located in rural Huancayo. The orphaned
girls at this facility needed a place to play, and be distracted from their
difficult pasts. This playground is important to the development of the children
here. The AOP funded, designed, and built this project at the Fransica Mayer
Orphanage.
With
donated computers from the United States, AOP volunteers where able to set up
two laptops in the Rosario Orphanage and instruct typing and writing classes.
It is critical for the children at this orphanage to recieve some kind of job
training before they are released at age 18. Having these classes promotes an
interest in developing job skills.
The
Prolivalente School for children with special needs in Huancayo has classes
for children who are hearing impaired, vision impaired, disabled children, and
children with downs syndrome. The school badly needed a series of ramps so students
in wheelchairs could access classrooms. The AOP funded and built this project.
For
the Holidays in 2006, the AOP collected clothing for the underserved children
and families of the Village of Chupaca Peru. The AOP was able to collect 100
pounds of clothing and toys to send to the village. The donated items were distributed
by Peru Luz Esperanza, our local Partner Organization in Chupaca.
The
Prolivalente School for Children with Special needs has many students who use
wheelchairs. There existing toilet room had one toilet fixture and two holes
in the ground making completely inaccessible for students in wheelchairs. The
AOP created two new toilet rooms with new accessible toilet stalls, fixtures,
and sinks improving hygiene and sanitation.
The
Prolivalente School for Children had a playground with a broken swingset. The
children were unable to use the playground for years because of a problem that
was a very easy and inexpensive fix. The AOP was able to fix two swings and
provide new swing seats.
In
2007, we supported programs in Peru, Boliva, and Ecuador with funds to purchase
food, sweaters, winter hats, school supplies, and gifts. With the program, we
raised were able to reach over 500 children and their families in the Andes.
