Happy Holidays to our loyal Peruvian Hearts supporters,
As we prepare for the new year, we are looking back fondly over a year marked with success and joy, thanks to your continued investment. Your support is what continues to allow Peruvian Hearts to thrive and be able to offer resources for education and empowerment to even more young women leaders.
This month we welcomed our largest cohort of 15 PH Scholars, bringing the total number of new PH Scholars to 26! Each of these young women carries her own story of courage, resilience, and hope and brings with her a unique perspective that will enrich and strengthen our shared values. These young women embody the spirit of leadership that defines Peruvian Hearts, driven by empathy, guided by purpose, and committed to creating meaningful change. With this newest cohort, we are proud to say that we have more current scholars (52) than PH Alumni, (36), demonstrating that Peruvian Hearts is growing!
In total, this year we saw five scholars receive their bachelor’s degrees: Yanet, Lucero, Yurema, Jennifer, and Paola and 11 scholars successfully defended their theses: Adriela, Lurdes, Medalid, Aldeyny, Carlota, Lizbeth, Melani, Ruth Katherine, Alexandra, Nikole, and Jhima. These accomplishments are more than just degrees; they are the catalyst for a fundamental cultural shift in rural Peru. To reach these milestones, you believed in the potential of the PH Scholars, enabling us to empower them with crucial resources like academic counseling, psychosocial support, mentorship, and leadership workshops, all while ensuring their basic needs such as safe housing and food are met. Already, we witness the powerful ripple effect of your investment as the PH Alumni mature as leaders and professionals, supporting their families, and helping their own sisters access education. We extend our sincerest gratitude for your continued loyalty and unwavering support as we work together to build a future of equality and opportunity.
We are deeply grateful for your generous support and belief in the potential of the young women of Peruvian Hearts. We wish you and yours a peaceful and blessed holiday season!
