Peruvian Hearts - Girls' Education & Empowerment

Dear loyal Peruvian Hearts supporters,

Thank you for your continued belief in the potential of young women in Peru. We are glad to report that the largest-ever cohort of scholars, who joined in December, is already finding their footing in the PH community and stepping into opportunities to grow and serve.

This quarter, the PH Scholars have been living out the pay-it-forward mindset that defines Peruvian Hearts. Fifteen scholars led a cleanup of the Incan archaeological sites of Sacsayhuamán and Qenqo, collecting litter to restore these iconic Cusco landmarks. 

In another service project, 22 scholars, many of them among the newest, volunteered throughout February and March at Casa San José, a local children's home. They offered academic tutoring, emotional support, and recreational activities, and donated school supplies. It is a joy to witness the older PH Scholars modeling servant leadership, and all the scholars growing together as compassionate leaders who understand that their education is a gift meant to be shared. This is the ripple effect your investment makes possible: agents of change who are already transforming the lives of those around them.

Your support is what makes this holistic growth possible. Beyond the scholarship itself, you enable us to walk alongside each scholar as she pursues her education, providing safe housing, nutritional support, academic counseling, psychosocial care, and leadership development so she can realize her full potential.

We are deeply grateful for your loyalty and for 23 years of shared commitment to this work. Because of you, 41 young women are pursuing their bachelor’s degrees and 10 are working to defend their theses. We hope you will consider visiting us in Cusco and the scholars you believe in.

With gratitude,

The Peruvian Hearts Team
