Mundo De Niños in Trujillo, Peru

Donation protected
My name is Ren, I'm helping an organization my mom works with in Peru called Mundo de Niños.  Mundo de Niños is a non-profit organisation located in Trujillo-Peru, working closely to help the children of the city, as well as neighboring settlements.

In Peru, childhood is one of the most vulnerable and unprotected periods of life. In 2014, 33.6% of the children under the age of 5 lived in poverty while 1.325 million people lived in extreme poverty. Similarly, the school attendance rate for children from 6 to 7 years old was 67% at the same date, meaning that children and adolescents are at great risk*.
Street children and adolescents in Trujillo are minors in social risk who live in deplorable conditions on public roads where they eat, sleep, steal, sniff glue “Terokal”, make bets, establish relationships, have children and are victims of labor and sexual exploitation. 92% of these children consume drugs and alcohol. This critically affects their mental and physical health. These children come from dysfunctional families with major economic problems, are far more likely to drop out of school and are often victims of abuse and violence. They are children and adolescents who, for the most part, have “escaped” from their home. Their personality is characterized by low self esteem, frustration, irritability, deficits in self-control, distrust of others, problems with authority and exacerbation of sexuality and aggression.

In 15 years of uninterrupted running, Mundo de Niños gave shelter to 122 children and teenagers. Many of them were successfully reinserted into society thanks to the personalised therapeutic program, education, affection and values provided in the Home, which now allow them to face their future with better opportunities. 17 children a
nd teenagers are currently being taken care of within the Home.

We aim at improving the conditions in which many children from the Trujillo region live: dysfunctional home, alcohol addiction, physical, sexual and psychological violence, prostitution, promiscuity, delinquency and abandon.

Our work includes three methods of outreach:

Street work:
The “Street work” area was the first project to be set up when we started our work. It allows us to approach peripheral zones of Trujillo formed by human settlements from which the children and teenagers we work with come from. Street work is sectioned into 4 parts; Educational workshops, Psyc
hology workshops, Recreational activities, and Social activities

Children and Youth Home:

Mundo de Niños, also provides as a home where children are receive: a balanced diet coupled with nutritional supervision, clothes, psychotherapy, medical care, reintegration and integration into the education system, specific attention to language and learning problems, as well as tutoring.  The children living at Mundo de Niños’ home arrived suffering from serious problems of impulsivity and aggression, learning and speaking problems, low self-esteem, sexual disorders, growth and developmental disorders, as well as lack of social skills and healthy living habits (such as tidiness, cleanliness, hygiene and balanced diet).

Bakery Mundopan:
This project began in 2016 for the teenagers to give them exposure to the opportunity to learn production and coåmmercial processes.  From creating artisanal bread to delivery the children from Mundo de Niños are involved. This provides something they can also be proud of while appreciating the importance of work, order and effort, and eventually the reward.
