How Can We Eradicate Child Hunger in Peru? Discover How You Can Help.

In Peru, 4 out of 10 children live in extreme poverty, facing hunger, malnutrition, and lack of access to education and healthcare. This crisis mainly affects rural and indigenous communities, where many families struggle to secure even a single meal per day.

Child hunger not only causes health problems but also hinders educational development and limits opportunities for a better future. At AGAPE HAND, we work tirelessly to end hunger and bring hope to thousands of vulnerable children.

Causes of Child Hunger in Peru’s Rural Communities

Hunger in Peru is caused by multiple factors, including:

Lack of employment and low income: Many families cannot afford nutritious food.
Limited access to education: Without education, children have fewer chances to break the cycle of poverty.
Inequality in healthcare access: Malnutrition worsens due to a lack of medical care.
Climate change and economic crises: These factors affect food production and increase prices.
