Why give?

  • 100% of your donation goes to real needs.
    We’re volunteer-run in the U.S., and our local operations are lean—so your support goes straight to the people who need it.

  • It’s local-led.
    Our work is guided by trusted community leaders who live and work in the villages we serve. They know what’s needed, and they deliver it with care.

  • It’s personal.
    Many donors want to give back after their travel experiences. Compadres de Perú makes it easy to turn that connection into meaningful action.

  • We act fast.
    Whether it’s replacing a school boat motor or fixing a storm-damaged home, we can mobilize quickly when urgent needs arise.

  • You’ll see your impact.
    We provide clear updates and real stories from the communities your donations support. You won’t be left wondering where your money went.

  • You’re building resilience.
    Your donations don’t just solve today’s problems—they help lay the foundation for a stronger, more self-sufficient tomorrow.
