Children in all countries of the world are precious. But those who must overcome great odds hold a special place in our hearts.
Tragically, many impoverished children live on the streets of Lima -- abandoned, orphaned, or disabled -- and are some of the world's most desperate citizens.
But, thanks to our host partners, loving and safe "homes" give vulnerable children in Lima a chance for a fulfilling future. Global Volunteers works in partnership with public and private children's homes to offer compassionate support in a number of ways. You have a rare opportunity to offer a genuine service to "at-risk" children, while immersing yourself in a complex and colorful culture.

"The children may be poor and homeless, but they have many things to give. We learn so much from them also.
And, they love to be in touch with the volunteers.
They help the children so much. We thank you for the contributions you make to us."
~ Brother Hugo, Ciudad de los Niños director
