about us

SKIP is a UK non-profit organization helping disadvantaged children to realise their right to an education. We are currently working on the north coast of Peru, in the impoverished districts that surround the city of Trujillo. Our primary work area, El Porvenir, demonstrates a great deal of social problems that need our urgent support. Our team is comprised of volunteers from overseas, as well as from the community of El Porvenir and local universities in Trujillo.

our philosophy
We believe in helping families to help themselves so they can improve their situation and afford sending their children to school. We do not believe that we should give them everything while they do nothing. Therefore, we work alongside with them to achieve common goals.

our challenge
Unlike public education systems in western countries, those in Peru are not free and many families can't afford their costs. For many uneducated parents, the difference that an education could make in their children’s futures remains unrealized. In addition, a wide range of social problems from family violence to drug dependency directly influence a child’s academic success. Education is proven to be the best way to lead a country towards development. This is why we are fighting to address these issues and to put education at the forefront.

our partners
Thanks to our cooperation agreement with well-established organizations, we can take a holistic approach to help disadvantaged families to improve their standard of living and to offer their children a chance of a better future through education.
