San Felipe In the Future
Our Expansion
Our center’s expansion represents a bold step towards making an even greater impact on the lives of underprivileged children and families in Peru with God. Together, we’re creating a brighter future and nurturing leaders who will drive positive change and the love of Jesus in their communities.
Our Center will provide the following in the future:

- Enhanced Education Facilities: With the construction of more classrooms, we can accommodate a growing number of youth, providing them with quality education and a pathway to a brighter future.
- Empowering Trade Programs: Introducing carpentry, electricity, and computer training programs to equip the youth with valuable skills, expanding their employment prospects and fostering self-sufficiency.
- Igniting the Love for Learning: Establishing a library offers a wealth of knowledge and resources, inspiring a passion for learning among children and teens.
