 Created in 2003, SKIP is a non-profit organization helping economically-disadvantaged children in El Porvenir realize their right to an education. We are currently working on the north coast of Peru, in the impoverished districts that surround the city of Trujillo.
Our team is comprised of volunteers from the community of El Porvenir and Trujillo as well as volunteers from overseas.

We are multicultural team of Peruvian and international volunteers.
|
We believe that economically-disadvantaged families have the capacity to be the principal agents of change in their own lives and communities.
|
|
We believe that quality education is an important and sustainable route towards development.
|
We believe in the global community's responsibility to promote universal quality education and eradicate poverty. Working with the education system and in partnership with the community is the best way to affect change.

Our primary work area, El Porvenir, demonstrates a great deal of social problems that need our urgent support.
|
Our work would be impossible without the help of our many generous supporters, sponsors and friends.
