To achieve our objectives, Kids at the Crossroads Peru (KATC) runs the following programs free of charge for low-income children in city and rural areas of Ayacucho, Peru:
After-School Program
A good education is the greatest resource we can give children to move beyond the bounds of poverty. KATC-Acuchimay is our after school program benefitting children in Carmen Alto with five days a week of after-school educational activities and services.

Christmas Cheer Program
Each year KATC hand delivers a toy, hot cocoa and traditional Christmas bread to as many as 1,500 children living in extreme poverty in the remote highlands of Peru. For a few days each year, we simply want kids to enjoy the fun of being a kid at Christmastime!
