"Adopt a Community" is a program connecting donators with the poorest communities of Peru enabling them some resources in their development.
Adopting a community means more than only providing a community with basic products. For example, food supply to survive, warm clothing, nappies, medicines … It also means to provide them with a chance of development by means of trainings.
This is an option for private companies or persons to contribute to projects helping a whole community. For instance, to build a trout hatchery (piscigranja de truchas), building a school, etc. Another option is to donate solar panels for electricity and heating. Nevertheless, one does not need to contribute a lot. In our opinion, every grain counts!
