Because every child has the right to a safe home
We are Los Cachorros
Los Cachorros provides shelter and care to the most vulnerable children in Ayacucho, Peru. We are there for children who live on the street or in unsafe family situations. Our organisation takes care of these children and provides a safe place to grow and be a child again.
High-quality youth care in Peru
Los Cachorros offers integrated shelter and youth care to children who live on the street or are at risk of ending up there. We aim to provide the right conditions for these children to live in their own families. If that doesn't work, we will look for a suitable and healthy living environment. The well-being and development of the child is always central.
How we help children
Los Cachorros works from a holistic and integrated approach to the care and youth care of children in Peru. We offer direct help and support through our street work and prevention activities. Besides that, we provide care for children in our night shelter and family replacement home. We believe that children benefit most from a nice and warm home with their family, which is why we always focus on reintegrating the child into a safe family situation.
We believe in small-scale and personal approach: in our care for children, but also in our collaboration with partners and donors. Together we offer young people in Ayacucho a future.
