Often tourists and travellers feel that their visits to developing countries are not really helping local people as their spent funds are not filtering down to those who really need them.

Escaped to Peru is trying to help in this respect by making donations directly to charity at grass roots level in Lima. We donations of cash and clothing, plus anything donated by travelers helping to make the lives of the less fortunate a little better.

Projects like Oratorio Salesiano Don Bosco are trying to do what they can to help in the Rimac area of Lima where significant social deprivation exists and young people have limited life chances. In Cusco we are shortly going to be supporting a day centre for poor elderly people.
