Our community project in Peru is a local orphanage in Puerto Maldonado. It currently houses 15 orphans from different backgrounds and circumstances. The Belen Orphanage is part of a small privately run school by Juan Marcos Manrrique with little to no government support. We are the first commercial entity that he is able to receive any funds from. We are super proud and committed to support his efforts in providing a better future for these kids.
