Asociación Pacaritambo (£600)
This Association is dedicated to helping disabled, abandoned and extremely poor children. For many years it ran a school and training centre in Mala, drawing children from both the immediate area and Cañete.  Both these areas have been very badly affected by the Earthquake and the Association plans to source and deliver small pre-fabricated housing to the most needy families in the Cañete (Ica) area where many people have been left homeless and destitute.

Institución Educativa Punta Hermosa Rudy Echegaray Fajardo (£600)
This charitable institution runs a school for children from very poor families in Punta Hermosa, some 40 kilometres south of Lima.  Most of the teachers, who are also of modest means live in rudimentary housing provided by the school.  Both the school and the housing have been badly damaged by the earthquake and funds are urgently needed to purchase materials and equipment in order to commence rebuilding and enable the school to reopen.

Westnell Nursery Association (£500)
Located in one of the most deprived areas of Lima this Association has been supported by the Anglo-Peruvian Society for 20 years.  It provides kinder garden education for 3 to 5 years olds, children from extremely poor single parent homes.  The high level of the facilities and teaching give the most disadvantaged children a start towards a better life and allow their parent to work thereby earning a little money to support the family.  The walls of the school were destroyed by the earthquake making the facilities unusable.  Classes are continuing in tents and temporary rented accommodation but funds are urgently needed to rebuild the walls and make the school safe for future use.
