Smiles in the mountains at Christmas
Every December, Andean Hope brings joy and solidarity to high-Andean communities. Through Smiles at Christmas, we organize festive gatherings where we share hot chocolate, toys, food, and warm clothing with hundreds of children and families.
This is more than a celebration — it’s a moment of unity and love, reminding us that the true spirit of Christmas lives in every act of kindness and every smile we create.
Impact:
- +500 children benefited every year
- Participation from local communities, schools, and partner organizations
- Stronger bonds of solidarity and hope in every community visited
Seeds of Knowledge
Education is the seed from which hope grows. Through Seeds of Knowledge, we bring books, school supplies, technology, and tutoring programs to remote villages in Cusco.
Our goal is simple: that every child, no matter how far they live, has the chance to learn, dream, and build a brighter future.
Focus Areas:
- Quality education in rural schools
- Community libraries and digital classrooms
- Teacher and volunteer training
