In many parts of Latin America, old age is a chapter marked by abandonment, illness, and food insecurity.

In one of our partner communities, we met María, a devoted mother who struggled to feed her children.

At Agape Hand, we work every day to fight hunger and food waste.

In many homes, the table is set—but it isn’t complete. There is food, but no real nutrition. Mouths are fed, but bodies are not strengthened.

In the most remote corners of rural Peru, in the highlands and the jungle, thousands of elderly people live in extreme poverty, without access to food, healthcare, or family support.

Food waste is a global problem that affects the economy, the environment, and vulnerable communities. It is estimated that one-third of the food produced worldwide is wasted, while millions of people suffer from hunger.

Deep in remote communities, where modernity barely reaches, thousands of elderly people survive with the little they can find.

Deep in the mountains and jungles, in the poorest neighborhoods of our cities, there are stories that need to be told.

At Agape Hand, we believe that true compassion is not only expressed through immediate help, but in building a strong, transformative support network that empowers people to overcome their challenges and achieve a better future.

In the most remote corners of Peru, where access is limited and loneliness is often the only companion, Agape Hand has become a beacon of hope.
