Aim of the Trust

“To alleviate some of the effects of poverty in Peruvian children of 0-5 years of age. This is mainly achieved by the provision of day care centres where the children are enabled to grow physically, mentally and spiritually through good nutrition, stimulation, play and loving care.
The problem is:

Mothers must seek work and leave the babies at home.
Guilt and despair become mental illness.
The children are abandoned so must beg, steal or die.
