Aldea Infantil San Miguel de Piura, is a center housing 76 children with ages ranging 3 months to 17 years old.  These children were admitted to the Aldea by judicial order since they were considered to be at risk. There they receive housing, food and health services, in addition to schooling: nursery, elementary and high school.

 The center also offers various workshops for boys and girls including: carpentry, sewing and design, hairstyling, animal rearing to augment meat production, and vegetable and fruit gardening. With the help of Fundacion Manos del Sur, the Aldea Infantil San Miguel de Piura hopes to enhance these workshops with the goal of improving the children s nutrition and at the same time, developing their technical skills.

We did our first funds transfers to finance the workshops thanks to  donations from private corporations and we are planning to incorporate the Aldea's children to our sponsoring program in a few weeks.

This project is locally administered by Ana Maria Bitar and Rosabel Dasso who will control the development of the programs and will be responsible to raise the necessary funds.
