Vision Statement
LimaKids will continue to serve Latin America’s most vulnerable children, endeavoring to ensure that they may grow up healthy, and feel protected and valued during childhood.
Through both local and international collaborations we will broaden the health and social services available to vulnerable children, until they have equitable access to basic resources.
We will advocate and lobby for vulnerable children to persuade governments to acknowledge and adequately provide for them and to combat the societal indifference to their plight.
Our approach will be multi-tiered, working directly with vulnerable children while simultaneously targeting families and civil society to address those factors which put children at risk.
LimaKids is dedicated to improving the health and quality of life of
orphaned and street children of Peru. We began with The
LimaKids Soccer League, an innovative new way
to address the mental health problems which result from childhood
victimization, using soccer as our medium. We later teamed up with
Puentes to improve the quality of life of
institutionalized children through recreational activities. Our reach
to the community of abandoned children soon expanded to include a larger
spectrum of kids by providing health services to children living on the
streets through the
LimaKids: The Mobile Clinic.
