An all-in-one project aimed
at promoting health, education, social interaction, economic
development, and the environment in Peru. Project Hope calls
for the transformation of an area comprised of 7 communities
and close to 10,000 inhabitants, many of whom live in cardboard
and straw dwellings with no running water nor sewage, and surrounding
a large trash dump.
Project Hope is transforming
a trash dump into a recreational park, promote a composting
center for the trash to provide a source of valuable income
to the communities, install latrines, bring water to those
who don’t have it accessible, implement a housing program
to replace all cardboard houses with solid wood, help all families
to obtain titles to their property, educate all families on
caring for their health and the environment, promote education,
and implement a job placement program as means to help break
the poverty cycle.

is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man
