Labor Day: United for a Greater Purpose in Rural Communities of Peru.

On this Labor Day, at AGAPE HAND, we honor not only those with formal employment but also those who work simply to survive. The invisible ones. The people who, in the midst of abandonment, poverty, and exclusion, continue striving every day to feed their families. To them, we offer our deepest respect.

In the most remote rural communities of Peru —from Huasahuasi, Tarma, and Huancavelica to Tingo María, Pucallpa, and native communities like the Shipibo and Asháninka— there are people who don’t celebrate this day with rest, but with effort. Mothers who plant crops, grandmothers who weave so they won’t go hungry, children who walk for miles to carry water… They, too, are workers. And they are part of forgotten Peru.

Thanks to the tireless work of our volunteers and corporate allies, today we reach them with non-perishable food, emotional support, and empowerment programs. Because we believe that serving with love is also labor, and one that changes lives.

Our volunteers, full of compassion and commitment, travel to places where government aid never arrives. There, they deliver hope in the form of rice, lentils, pasta, canned goods, and warm clothing. They hear stories of abandonment, but also of resilience. And together with socially responsible companies, we generate real impact: we reduce hunger, fight malnutrition, and promote opportunity.

Today, on Labor Day, we want to thank every volunteer, donor, and company that joins our mission. Thanks to you, people living in abandonment have food on their plates. Thanks to you, there is a ray of hope amid despair.

We ask everyone reading this to join us. Donate. Share. Become part of the change.
There are still grandmothers sleeping without dinner. Children walking in hunger. Families whose only choice is hard labor to survive.

AGAPE HAND is a non-profit organization working in Peru’s most vulnerable areas, delivering food, empowering women through artisan crafts, reforesting communities, and fighting abandonment.
