Friends of Peru Children's Home in Andahuaylas

Just over a year ago the Friends of Peru Children's Home became a part of Kids Alive. The home is nestled in the Andes mountains in the city of Andahuaylas almost 9,700ft above sea level.



Andahuaylas is an extremely impoverished area where many children need to hitchhike for several hours each day in order to receive an education. The home was started for children that lived too far away to attend school.





Construction of a new home is currently underway. The first building (1 story) is complete and the second building (2 stories) has the shell and roof complete.





Aside from a loving home and the ability to receive an education, the home has a workshop so that the older kids can learn valuable skills. They've even built much of the furniture for the new home.
