RURAL SCHOOLS PROGRAM
KATC is working to diminish barriers to education for as many low-income children as possible in the rural areas outside Ayacucho City.
In 2013, Kids at the Crossroads Peru expanded its programs after teachers in a remote village 90 minutes from Ayacucho noticed children searching through the garbage to find scraps of paper to use and 4 or 5 children sharing a single pencil in the classroom. So each year KATC delivers notebooks, pencils, pens, erasers, rulers, etc, to more than 150 children in the high-altitude villages of Rosaspampa, Santa Fe and Tunsulla.
KATC meets with community leaders (parents, teachers, and administrators) in these high-altitude villages to determine needs for the schools and the children. A community-driven effort continues, bringing much needed items like warm coats, classroom heaters, supplemental food for school lunches, and more, up to these villages. One of the villages built a community green house and is growing vegetables for school lunches! We'd love for you to become a 'Food Angel' providing monthly support as we supplement the childrens' school lunches even more...just $35 a month will help feed 5 children! We encourage you to sign up today to become a monthly donor!
