Educational Project: Child Care Facility (Amazon Rainforest Peru)

Volunteer in our Child Care Facility in the Amazon Rainforest in Peru!
We are looking for volunteers to work with children in the Amazon jungle! The shelter caters for around 20 children and adolescents from different Amazonian native and peasant communities, some of which live more than 5 days travel by boat on the Madre de Dios River. They all come from situations of social exclusion and extreme poverty. This project provides these children with shelter, food and access to education and healthcare. On this journey breathtaking jungle scenery and contact with indigenous peoples such as the Machiguenga all await your discovery.

​

Learn from the Amazon children what their life in the jungle is all about!
