Kiya Survivors aims to provide a new beginning for children and young people in the global community who have special needs or have been abused or abandoned. We help them gain independence through education and therapy, love and laughter.
Kiya Survivors works alongside local authorities to help instigate change in areas such as appropriate special needs services, support in local schools and workplaces and encouraging the integration of children born to be different so they can thrive in their communities and homes.
We currently have 3 projects in Peru:
-Sponsoring education and living costs for an orphaned family of 4 siblings in Cuzco.
-Life Box distribution: Due to COVID-19 many of our families have lost their income and have been unable to provide even the basics for their children. We have been supporting 45 families since march, on a weekly basis, with essentials and medication to help them through this difficult time.
-Physiotherapy: Our doors to the Mama Cocha centre closed in March when Peru went into lock down but we continue to visit our patients virtually and in their homes.
