About SKIP (Supporting Kids in Peru)
1,500 children receive support from the SKIP programme.
In our main programme, we work with 150 families and 300 children.
SKIP aims to increase the number of children in Alto Trujillo and El Porvenir completing primary education and either finishing secondary education or finding training/employment. SKIP intends to achieve these aims by:
- Fully financing the education (fees, uniforms, materials) for every child in the programme.
- Providing a complementary educational programme to reinforce learning at school and help with homework
- Implementing educational workshops with parents covering a diverse range of subjects from parenting skills to breast cancer awareness to healthy eating.
- Developing projects that involve parents and carers in service provision (parents/carers currently help in the primary education programme and a parent/carer committee provides feedback on programme satisfaction and requested development).
- Granting microfinance loans for small business development and home improvements.
- Providing business workshops, such as in basic accounting. As well as providing handicraft workshops for parents, including help with sales and product development.
- Making available counselling services
In addition to this, we provide English classes for 1200 children in local public schools
