Improving the lives of children, women and families in Peru since 2013

Our Mission

At Hilo Rojo our fundamental goal is to improve the lives of children, women and families at risk of social exclusion in Trujillo, Peru. We do this through education, empowerment and engagement.

  • Education

    We understand that education is one of the best ways to reduce social gaps and improve quality of life. That's why we continue to promote and develop educational projects in favor of those living in poverty, in particular, women and children.

  • Empowerment

    Our vision is to have a generation of young people and women living in a community with equal opportunities and a decent future. With empathy and love Hilo Rojo continues to promote self-worth in a space where many have lost hope.

  • Engagement

    We implement aid programs in the areas of education, health, nutrition, family planning and against child labour. By forming bonds with the people we work with Hilo Rojo can ensure the voices of the most vulnerable groups within our community are heard.

Our Projects

Every Hilo Rojo project is informed by the understanding that education is a key element in the wellbeing and growth of a society. We work primarily with women, children and families who are at risk of social exclusion due to poverty.

Our projects are run solely on donations and with the help of volunteers from around the globe. We have great ambitions for Hilo Rojo and with your help we can continue the fight for education and equality.

  • "Working with Hilo Rojo made me realize how privileged I am. It seemed obvious that I would study after my A levels. But it's not for everyone! As soon as I found out about the possibility of becoming a parent, I did. I worked with Hilo Rojo, visited families, saw their living conditions and it's very rewarding to give back!"
