Expand Peru is an organization with more than 10 years of experience working with international volunteers in urban and rural zones in the Central Andes of Peru in order to help children and their families living in unfortunate situations.

During this time, we have had a dream: to grow in order to help more children. This year, in 2011, we are taking a big step towards making this dream a reality. In addition to the already existing programs in the city of Huancayo and the Montaro Valley, we will be starting a new volunteer program in Lima. Within the next few months, we will do the same in the cities of Ica and Pisco along the southern coast, as well as in La Merced in the jungle region.
