The Peru Community Project is based high in the Andes mountain range in the city of Cusco, the oldest continually inhabited city in South America and the staging post for Machu Picchu. This includes:

Children's reading project - It focuses on the young and vulnerable to assist them in finding a way out of the trap of poverty by providing support in their education so they can become contributing members of their families and society.

After-school education program - Globalteer's 'Picaflor House' project, based in Oropesa village outside of Cusco, focuses on taking children off the streets and providing them with a safe place to learn and enjoy being kids. Once at the project, they are provided with education and fun activities such as traditional dance, arts, sports, and excursions.

Volunteers assist the local staff in teaching English. They play sports and read to the kids as well as lead arts and fun activities. They also help with manual work to improve the project: painting, decorating, gardening, etc.

Globalteer is a registered charity in the UK providing ethical and affordable volunteering.
