Latin American Foundation for the Future (LAFF) works with partner organisations in Peru to help disadvantaged children build a better future for themselves. To do this LAFF enable marginalised young people to access education opportunities and vocational training, as well as support children’s homes through income-generation, cost reduction initiatives and capacity building for staff. LAFF have been successfully working with children's homes in Peru since 2007 and our approach to supporting the homes to long term sustainability alongside helping the children directly is working really well. From small beginnings, working with a single home, we have grown and are now working with six homes to support street children, former street children, teenage mothers who have suffered domestic abuse or rural girls who have no access to education due to their remote location. LAFF believe in creating independence, not dependence. This is crucial in our approach to young people, and the organisations which support them. We also believe in sustainability, and aim to achieve it for those we help through educating, empowering and enabling.
