Our Mission in Peru, South America

Imagen3 scaled 3

Since 2014, Advance and our partners have been bringing health and hope to Peru through life-changing surgical brigades, health education, and community development.

In partnership with indigenous organization, CADEP, we are working to transform the health and quality of life for hundreds of families in the Peruvian highlands. We work with local government authorities, community leaders, teachers, and families toward building capacity and strengthening communities, all while preserving cultural and indigenous traditions. This includes providing clean water, safe and sustainable homes, health education, sustainability training, and vital surgical and medical care.

Surgical Missions

What we do

We organize surgical missions with the collaboration of local and international volunteers to provide surgical care to people in rural communities with limited access to healthcare. 

Why we do it

Many communities in rural areas of Peru lack access to specialized medical care, so our surgical missions offer a vital opportunity for people to receive medical treatment that would otherwise be inaccessible. 

Community Development with CADEP

What they do

CADEP is a key organization that, through its donors, supports community development in rural areas of Peru. They contribute to improving various local institutions, including special needs schools, hospitals, and agricultural projects. 

Why they do it

By contributing resources to these institutions, CADEP helps create a healthier and more educational environment, providing essential services that improve the quality of life and development for the most vulnerable communities.
