About Peruvian Project, Inc
From the President of Peruvian Project-Robert C. Owens:
Peruvian Project, Inc is a charity that was started two years ago, because my wife and I saw a need for a charity here in the USA that would be designed specifically to assist groups in the jungle areas of Peru that were helping educate indigent children. We had been sending our donations through other umbrella organizations, but now, with our own organization, we have better control over how the donations are used. We are also better able to give the same opportunity to others who would like to join in our efforts. Peruvian Project is also able to fund raise in the USA for grants and scholarships to support our most successful graduates in their post secondary education. Peruvian Project is a charity organization that is not closely associated with any church or religion, but works with any of these organizations with whom we share some common goals
The Board members of Peruvian Project, Inc. are made up of three native Peruvians, who now reside in the Rochester, NY area, and two former Peace Corps Volunteers, both of whom served in South America. We are in charge of making sure that the maximum amount possible of each donation reaches the children for whom it was designated. Board members do not receive any kind of stipend. Each Board member donates their time, labour, and even trips to the projects in Peru, out of their own pocket. Donations made to Peruvian Project, Inc. go to a) specific projects, b) school materials and supplies, c) health education, d) family education, e) tutors for the children, d) and motivational awards for the children. We specifically do not support administrative costs, transportation, or food.
Presently Peruvian Project Inc. is assisting two organizations, one in Iquitos, ASDA, and one in Moyobamba, COCID, that enable street children to go to school and support them while in the program with tutors and extra work sessions that assist them in their studies. We are also cooperating with a cultural program for indigent children, called IRAPAY, in the city of Iquitos.
