Volunteer project: This project will be carried
out in support of a social home for girls in the town of Lurin, Lima province.
It is a home to 45 girls between 2 and 15 years of age who have been victims of
sexual and physical abuse. The project aims to strengthen and promote the
comprehensive development of children and adolescents at risk, conducting
educational workshops and recreational activities to help them overcome the
consequences of violence they have experienced in their homes. In this project,
volunteers will implement their high sense of service, strengthening the

girls and teenagers. This will be done through games, dynamic educational
lectures, school support in order to increase young people’s motivation levels.

Depending on each individual situation they have been through, we will have to help them regain trust in others, catch up at school and learn to play and interact with other children. In sum, volunteers are needed to offer these girls a way out of their troubled personal situation.
