Cruz Blanca Covid Response
Targeted Projects to help poor families and rebuild the Cruz Blanca Camp for Children
As with many countries around the world, Peru has limited supplies of vaccines and remains locked down. The shanty town dwellers survive on wages they make daily. Many are unable to work due to the pandemic. Cruz Blanca Association responded by providing food and supplies since the beginning of the pandemic. Pax in Terra has raised several thousand dollars here in the US. All proceeds have gone to support Cruz Blancas efforts.
Normally, the Cruz Blanca Association runs a camp for the shanty town children. Some of the requests are to help rebuild infrastructure at the camp. Over the years, Pax in Terra has designed and built a school for the camp, supported the development of a library and many other programs.
With your generous support, these children and families can survive the pandemic and live a healthy future.
