Introduction to SKIP
SKIP is an NGO working in an impoverished district of Trujillo, Peru. Our diverse team is comprised of teachers, social workers, psychologists, economic development workers and a range of other volunteers. We provide school fees, uniforms and materials to over 400 children each year. In addition, we provide lessons to reinforce what they are learning in school and help with homework. Support is also given to parents to improve economic and social stability.
Education is the key to the future
Unlike public education systems in Western countries, those in Peru are not free, and many families cannot afford their costs. For many uneducated parents, the difference that an education can 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.
Quality education is an important and sustainable factor in development
This is why we are working to address these issues and to put quality education at the forefront. Volunteer with us to help make a difference in the lives of these children.
