Supporting Kids in Peru




Supporting Kids in Peru (SKIP) is nonprofit organization, registered in the United Kingdom and the United States, that helps disadvantaged children to realize their right to an education. The program is located on the north coast of Peru in the impoverished community of El Porvenir, outside the city of Trujillo. The project team is comprised of international volunteers as well as Peruvian volunteers from the community and local universities in Trujillo.

SKIP believes in helping families to help themselves to improve their economic and social situation and send their children to school. Within its holistic program approach, SKIP provides psychological support, social services, small business and microcredit services to foster stable home environments for the children.




SKIP publishes news stories on the News section of their website.
Volunteers working with SKIP blog on the Meet SKIP's Volunteers website.

SKIP’s trilingual website has been the primary channel for spreading the mission of SKIP, attracting volunteers and donors, and posting news bulletins.  With the help of AP Fellows, SKIP hopes to increase postings and traffic to its blog, as well as spread the message of SKIP throughout volunteer, NGO, and education-related websites.
SKIP sends out newsletters to donors and other interested subscribers through email.  The AP Fellows working with SKIP will soon implement a new system of managing contacts and sending emails as they seek to capture a larger community of interested people.
