Peru: Promoting children's rights and environmental protection

Three children in traditional clothing stand in front of a field

Peru boasts immense biodiversity and valuable raw materials. However, overexploitation and the climate crisis threaten the livelihoods of many families. Indigenous communities are particularly affected. Child labor is widespread; many girls and boys must work to support their families. With your help, we support indigenous communities in climate adaptation, promote environmental education, and provide assistance to working children.
