Extreme poverty and family violence force thousands of Peruvian children to leave their homes each year and fend for themselves on the streets of Lima, Cuzco and other cities of this Andean nation. Peruanitos Foundation is a non-profit organization in California dedicated to helping these abused, abandoned and orphaned children. Working with local leaders in Peru, Peruanitos Foundation repairs and refurbishes shelters for street orphans. The foundation also supports community day care centers that offer poor families a safe place to leave their children while they work.
