EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT & EMPOWERMENT

LEARN HOW YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS ARE USED TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY

As little as £10 covers the running cost of one of our educational workshops/classes for 40 kids- which allow us to provide educational workshops to children living in Cerrito de la Virgen.



PROMOTING EDUCATION IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Otra Cosa Network is a well-established UK Registered Charity and Peruvian registered not for profit (NGO), addressing the educational needs of children and vulnerable adults in an extremely impoverished area of Northern Peru. 

Our mission is to promote education and social development in our local communities.  Our Vision is equal opportunities in Peru for everyone to succeed and thrive.

We work in informal settlements where many community members have been displaced by climate change, disaster and political instability. They live in precarious circumstances, few have running water or sewage provision and there is only sporadic electricity. Additionally, many children are forced to work instead of continuing their education and there are no community-based facilities for learning and developing new skills in a safe environment.

WHERE IT ALL STARTED

Otra Cosa Network  began in early 2000's as a small, low-cost volunteering agency providing volunteers to a few, mainly local, projects. It was started by Juany and Peter Murphy, a British-Peruvian couple, who lived in Huanchaco at the time.
