‘Jardin de Niños', Huaraz, Peru

In 2009-2010 Brand Charity is building a children's day care center, together with the Dutch organization Stichting Wees Kind. The day care center will be build for socially and economically disadvantaged children in one of the poorest areas of Peru; the city Huaraz. The center is located in a large school building of the Raimondi College, which educates 800 children. 100 of these children are in urgent need.

Via this day care we will offer shelter to these 100 children, mainly orphans and children who live on the streets during the day, because their parents are both working. The day care offers these children:

• Nutritious food
• Education
• Personal hygiene
• Clothing
• Medical care
• Recreational sports & games
• Therapeutic activities
• Love & care

After months of research and looking for the right location, construction work on the day care has started in February 2010. We expect to open our day care in May 2010!
