HELP ENVIRONMENT
HELP Environment has two primary focuses. The first and most developed being environmental education. We work closely with the younger generation of locals in Huanchaco and surrounding areas with the hope of influencing their attitudes towards the environment, boost their knowledge of large-scale environmental issues and demonstrate how day-to-day behaviours can have a more positive influence on their own environment. The second focus is on direct environmental impacts.
HELP ENGLISH
In Peru the English language is part of the government designed school curriculum. It is technically a requirement for schools to have English lessons. However, the schools in our area, like many others, are neglected and are not provided the resources or teachers to have English in their schools. At private schools children are made familiar with English at a young age however these schools are not within the means of the communities we work with.

HELP LITERACY
This project began in 2013 when Otra Cosa Network received a grant from LitWorld, a US-based non-profit, to set up a reading club for girls, known as a LitClub, in the shanty town of Cerrito de la Virgen. LitWorld recognises that literacy provides access to history, knowledge, creativity and democracy and so aims to create social transformation at a grassroots level by funding LitClubs to improving literacy in disadvantaged communities in both the US and around the world.
