Bruce Peru Chiclayo Centre

One of the main activities of the Peruvian-based volunteer organisation ‘Bruce Peru’ involves working with the street children in big cities. They go into the ‘barrios’ and feed, heal and arrange education for the children, many of whom are abandoned, or semi-abandoned. Currently the organisation’s main centre of this type is in Lima, Peru. The Emilie’s Charities contribution has gone towards the setting up of a similar centre in Chiclayo, which is the fourth largest city in Peru and has proportionally more poor children than any other city.
