Forgotten Grandparents in the Mountains of Peru: Fighting Hunger is Protecting Life.

Deep in the mountains of Peru and in native communities of the jungle, there is a silent and painful reality. These are the forgotten grandparents, elderly men and women who live alone, isolated, and exposed to hunger, cold, and total abandonment.

They were once workers of the land, wise keepers of nature, pillars of their families, and guardians of ancestral traditions. Today, many of them wake up every morning with one question in their hearts:

“Who will protect us now?”

At AGAPE HAND, as a committed humanitarian NGO, we face this harsh reality every day. Fighting hunger is not just about delivering food; it’s about restoring dignity, hope, and love to those whom life has left behind.

We travel long distances, cross rivers, climb mountains, endure extreme weather, and knock on the doors of humble adobe or wooden houses. There, we find our grandparents, many of whom don’t know how old they are, living in extreme poverty and filled with loneliness.

Our humanitarian work focuses on providing comprehensive aid:

  • Delivery of basic food supplies
  • Warm clothing and blankets to endure cold nights
  • Medicine and basic healthcare
  • Listening, companionship, and emotional support
  • Empowerment programs and sustainable development

Every donation we receive allows us to go further and reach more forgotten grandparents in rural communities in the Peruvian highlands and jungle.

Because fighting hunger is fighting for life.

Today, we want to invite you to be part of this mission of love. You can be the miracle that a grandparent is waiting for. Your solidarity contribution becomes food, shelter, and hope.

Help us continue to reach places where no one else goes. Be the answer to the question of thousands of grandparents who live in abandonment today.

“Fighting hunger is a way of protecting our grandparents and honoring their lives.”
