Impact & reporting
Situation
LAFF works with the most disadvantaged young people in Peru and the organisations that support them in overcoming barriers to accessing quality education to build themselves and their families brighter futures. Amongst other factors, widespread poverty, high unemployment, family violence, alcoholism, sexual and physical abuse, lack of education, homelessness and teenage pregnancy leave too many children in Peru vulnerable, socially excluded, and lacking opportunities.
Solution
We work with partner organisations in the Cusco region, supporting young people whose lives have been directly and profoundly affected by a wide range of social issues. Our 4 local partners work with homeless boys, isolated indigenous communities, teenage mums and their babies to provide safe, nurturing homes and access to quality formal education, personal development and psychological support. LAFF's support directly reaches over 100 young people every year to help them reach their potential.
”Without a doubt, the alliance with LAFF is very positive and our beneficiaries see the effects directly."
