Children of Peru Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization incorporated by the State of New York in February 2006 dedicated to building a better future for poor children in Peru. We raise funds to make grants to a select group of non-governmental organizations working in Peru to provide better healthcare and education for poor children.

We are currently working with two different organizations:

Samusocial Peru, a French organization present since 2005 in Huaycan, a poor neighborhood near Lima. With their two medical mobile units (the second one bought by the Children of Peru Foundation) they do regular tours in Huaycan, searching for any sick children to provide first aid medical services. A medical center ("La Estacion") was built in 2006 so that first medical help and social services can be provided in the centre of Huaycan.
Samusocial Peru does a great deal of social work, educating parents in basic hygiene concepts, helping dysfunctional families and trying to help children suffering from parental abuse.

With Samusocial Peru we started a program to help fight against tuberculosis in Huaycan. We also have financed the construction of a brand new building for the Huaycan's high school "Colegio Gustavo Mohme".

MMFC, "Medical Missions For Children" is a USA based 501c3 organization dedicated to providing free quality surgical and dental services to poor and under-privileged children in various countries throughout the world. They organize a yearly mission to Cuzco to provide free surgery (Cleft lips and palates as well as microtia) to poor children.
The Children of Peru Foundation sponsored and financed the 2007 and the 2008 missions and is already committed for the 2009 mission.
