Make a lasting impact through volunteering in Peru with Seeds of Hope, a locally run NGO based in the heart of Huaraz.
Our Peru volunteer programs focus on long-term educational support for underprivileged children, giving them the tools to break the cycle of poverty. Whether you’re looking for humanitarian work in Peru, a gap year project, or a meaningful career break, our volunteer opportunities offer a life-changing experience.
Since 2006, Seeds of Hope has been committed to helping children from disadvantaged backgrounds complete their education. We work with over 50 local children, raising their literacy, numeracy, and confidence, and guiding them toward higher education and career goals.
Many of our students’ parents work long hours or cannot read and write. Your support ensures they receive homework help, nutritious meals, and encouragement to stay in school. As a volunteer in Peru, you become part of their daily lives and their journey to success.
We welcome volunteers from all over the world with no discrimination based on race, gender, religion, or age. No specific qualifications are required—just a passion for supporting children’s education and a willingness to learn basic Spanish.

By April, we’re off to explore historic sites in the Ancash region, sharing games, meals, and culture with the students.
June brings our first camping trip, guided by our director Yuri, who leads treks to stunning lagoons and valleys.
In August, volunteers challenge themselves with rock climbing in the Cordillera Blanca—an unforgettable team experience.
October closes the trekking season with one last camping adventure, celebrating the Andes together.
Finally, in December, the children’s favorite event: the Santa Dash. Dressed as Santa, they run through the streets while volunteers support and help raise funds for our Nutrition Project.
