MySmallHelp Peru (MSH Peru)

About us

MiPequeñaAyuda - MySmallHelp Peru is a non-profit organization founded on 2011, as a response to the unmet need for support to the people with disabilities in the district of Ollantaytambo, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Cusco.

Our vision is to raise awareness and promote social inclusion of vulnerable people, especially those with disabilities. We want to create a culture of change and avoid dependency by challenging the current mindset of poverty as well as empower them to be responsible for their own growth and take control of their own lives.

Our mission is to support children and young adults with disabilities or low economic resources in the Cusco region by providing them access to basic education, health care and skills training as well as developing medium and long-term sustainable projects to improve their chances to having a brighter future.

Objectives
• Continuously improve the services we give to our beneficiaries to improve their quality of life.
• Promote solidarity between the beneficiaries, local citizens, and stakeholders to take responsibility for the development of the whole community.
• Increase the number of participants in our volunteer program, in order to have a constant stream of volunteers and professionals.
• Raise awareness for MSH Peru, both locally and internationally, to find viable income streams to finance our projects.

Our projects
• Integral Support Program: We support 27 beneficiaries and their families in various fields (e.g. educational, health, social, emotional, legal, etc.) according to individualized development plans based on their needs.
• Community Development Projects: We help improve the quality of life for our beneficiary families and communities by building or improving existing infrastructures, and facilitating training workshops.
• Educational Projects in Schools: We host English classes and different workshops in rural schools, as well as we provide support from our volunteers in community and special needs public schools.
• Health and Social Aid Campaigns: We organize health campaigns with health care professionals and aid campaigns in communities. We also collaborate with public and private partners in organizing this types of campaigns.
