The Compagnia del Perù Onlus was founded in February 2008 thanks to the initiative of a group of Italian volunteers motivated by the desire to support the CAEF (Centro de Atenciòn y Educatiòn a la Familia) in Perù. CAEF is a Peruvian Ong that has been working since 1997 for minors who are victims of violence and neglect in Trujillo (northern Perù). The Organization offers them the possibility to have a home, adequate food and school education. The Compagnia del Perù Onlus, for more than ten years, has been collecting funds for the various projects for the support of CAEF children and for the training of volunteers who leave Italy every summer and cross the world to go to the family home and bring their material contribution to this initiative.
