The key to leaving poverty
“The Daughters of Ayacucho Educational Fund has been a means of growth and development for young women with few economic resources. Ayacucho is considered one of the most impoverished cities in all of Peru.
The girls are devoted to their studies and to becoming professionals and obtaining a career that will allow them to leave a state of poverty. We continue gathering as a family, each session with anecdotes and consulting with eachother on issues, while also sharing jokes and laughs and birthdays. We thank the fund for this opportunity.”
Tools for success
“Thank you for everything you have done for me and giving me thetools necessary for my development, with your support every day I feel strengthened. I have in my heart immense gratitude and a lot of love, I hope tomake you proud with the trust you put in me.”

Paying it back
“As I study the law, I believe my vocation is to servemy society and also be able to help those who need it. Thank you to the fund for your support”
