Living in Peru : your everyday companion

Grupo Vida

 

GrupoVida is a nonprofit NonGovernmental Organization run by voluntary women committed to the development of underprivileged women in Perú. This initiative emerged from observing the high level of physical and moral abandonment of the destitute single teen mothers and their children.

MISSION/VISSION
Develop, support and promote projects that significantly contribute to the consolidation of a social network in favour of the adolescent single mothers affected by violence and abandonment through management and networking actions based on joint efforts between social, public and private sectors.

Empower underprivileged adolescent single mothers through technical education in our Training Center and reinsert them in the workforce in a sustainable way. At the same time, we provide them psychological support for their emotional development, self-esteem fortification and mother/child bonding, contributing to break the poverty link from one generation to the next.

PROJECTS

We are actually working a Pilot Plan developed in a textile factory through an alliance as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility Program. They provide us the space in their plant and give us technical support. The mothers are trained in manual labour, applications, QC, stain removal, ironing, and other issues of the “finishing process�?, under the textile export international standards. The training period is 14 weeks, after which they are evaluated and hired by the company. Guidance on how to form their own micro-enterprises is also given.

To complement the success of the program, we have an agreement with the MIMDES and their WawaWasi Program, through which we provide special care to the mother’s children, who are fostered and fed while their mothers are training. This WawaWasi provides the children the love, attention and care they require, as well as early education, health treatment, prevention and vaccination from the Health Center.

It is our goal to have our own independent Technical Training Center with bigger space and capacity to help more teen mothers and children.
