The key to leaving poverty
“The Daughters of Ayacucho Educational Fund has been a means of growth and development for young women with few economic resources. Ayacucho is considered one of the most impoverished cities in all of Peru. The girls are devoted to their studies and to becoming professionals and obtaining a career that will allow them to leave a state of poverty. We continue gathering as a family, each session with anecdotes and consulting with eachother on issues, while also sharing jokes and laughs and birthdays. We thank the fund for this opportunity.”
-Maria Luisa,  social worker
A supportive family
