Ministry of the Good Shepherd

For over 30 years, The Ministry of the Good Shepherd has been dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families in Alto Trujillo, Peru—one of the most underserved communities in the region. Our mission is built on the belief that education, nourishment, and opportunity can break the cycle of poverty and create a brighter future.

Today, we support over 1,000 children through:

23 care centers where kids receive meals, educational support, and a safe place to grow

3 community kitchens providing daily meals to children and families in need

2 libraries where children develop a love for reading and learning

CETPRO (Technical Education Center) where parents learn skills like shoemaking, cosmetology, baking, and sewing to provide for their families

Transportation for children with special needs, ensuring they get access to education

These kids come from families facing extreme financial hardship, and many would go without food or education without the support of this mission. Your donation will directly help these children receive the meals, school supplies, and educational opportunities they need to build a better future.

We are a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit, meaning every dollar donated goes directly to these children and families. Even a small donation can make a life-changing difference!

Join us in bringing hope and opportunity to the children of Alto Trujillo. If you can’t donate, please share our story!
