Home location in Peru

On December 10th, 2004 our first two children arrived to NPH Peru, marking the birth of our beautiful and continually growing family. We currently have 58 children in our home and we are expanding all the time. Our children run the complete spectrum of ages, with our youngest being less than a year and our oldest being 18.

Our child population is very diverse, with some children coming from the north near Cajamarca, and others hailing from the areas surrounding Lima, such as Cañete, Ica, and Chincha. Our children are growing and developing every day under the watchful eye of our loving and dedicated staff of employees and volunteers. We invite you to read more about our daily lives at our News section.

It is an exciting period of transition here at NPH Peru. Until May 2007 we were located in the northern city of Cajamarca, at which point we moved to our current home in Lunahuaná just two hours south of Lima. Here our children are closer to some of the greatest universities and cultural opportunities in all of South America. We currently own a beautiful stretch of land in the heart of Cañete, 40 minutes west of Lunahuaná, which is even closer to Lima.

Our children perform a traditional Peruvian dance.

Thanks to a dedicated group of international volunteers we are midway through the process of building what will become our permanent home here. While we wait to move to our new property in Cañete, where our complex Ciudadela Santa Rosa de Lima will be built, we have found the perfect home in Lunahuaná. Our present home is a former hotel complex in this quaint tourist village, with soccer and volleyball fields and a small pond with fish and geese. Our children are extremely happy in our current home, but are also eager to make what will be our final move to Cañete.

While our current home is in Lunahuaná, our administrative office is located in San Vicente, very close to the future site of our permanent home. This is due to a lack of reliable internet connection in Lunahuaná and our need to be able to continually correspond with our generous group of funders and fundraisers. We are looking forward to the day when we are able to move into our brand new permanent home where we can work, play, attend school, and continue to grow our family together.
