Charity Facts

The trust was set up in 1992 by Manuel Reynaga to assist orphaned children and families whose circumstances had been so adversely affected by the years of civil war and the collapse of the Peruvian economy. Since then the work has been extended to help the children as they get older by providing vocational training that will help them get jobs to support themselves and their families.

The charity is registered with the UK Charity commission (1063976)

The Charity is funded enitrely from voluntary contributions from individuals or small groups of individuals. The Charity seeks to ensure that as much as possible goes directly to help the children and young people - keeping administration costs to an absolute minimum.

The Annual Income (and therefore expenditure) averages around £85,000 in recent years. This covers the support of the children and the workers that help them. More financial information can be found on the Charity Commission website.
