Casa Chapi - Quechua Benefit

After a year apart, your girls are happy to be back together.

Since March of 2020 your Casa Chapi students have been studying at home. They are grateful for your donations that delivered monthly food boxes, schoolbooks, clothes, internet and cellphone connections for virtual school, but they missed their teachers and friends. Now some high school girls have returned to Casa Chapi’s campus in Arequipa! They are very happy to return to the stable environment where they have access to learning resources!

COVID restrictions in Peru continue, so not all Casa Chapi students can go back to in-person learning. Most of your students are still learning at home.

Your support of Casa Chapi families is still needed!

Please help us deliver monthly food boxes for families and supplies for kids to continue their virtual learning. For just $100 you can provide a month’s supply of food to a family.

Thank you for making a better and brighter 2021 for all of Casa Chapi’s students and families!

Thank you for your generosity to Quechua Benefit. 2020 has been the most challenging year on record for most of us, but you have created many bright spots along the way for people we serve in Peru.

In December of 2019, Isaac became our first Casa Chapi student to graduate from high school. Mike first met him as a small, shy 6^thgrader, but now he is a confident young man who has been accepted to attend SENATI Technical Institute. Isaac, his brother Christian and twin sisters Lizbeth and Judith all have a bright future because of Casa Chapi.

In March, Ichupampa’s Sister Antonia’s Kitchen celebrated its third anniversary. After an earthquake destroyed the original kitchen in August of 2016, you generously donated to rebuild it. Since March of 2017, loving hands have served many thousands of hot meals to needy residents.

“I am very old, but I am the happiest person about the kitchen. I don’t have to eat alone, and I can see my friends.” –A resident of Ichupampa

COVID-19 hit Peru hard in just after a new school year began in March. Our Casa Chapi kids returned to their homes. In-home quarantines and curfews continued for months. Your generous donations supplied cellphones to all the children, and Casa Chapi’s teachers were trained to provide virtual learning so your kids will keep learning.

Families were struggling to provide necessities. So, in June you provided monthly food boxes, schoolbooks, anemia treatment, and cellphones for Casa Chapi families. When Alejandro, our Peru Country Director, received permission to travel, he made deliveries and reported, “I saw our kids after two and a half months. Those days were very emotional for the kids and me. They miss Casa Chapi and their teachers.”

Since September, you have helped us reach more than 16,000 people in nine remote villages with masks, soap and educational brochures to fight the spread of COVID. They are grateful that you love them and have not forgotten them.

We could not have done it without you! We’re looking forward to doing more in 2021 to help the Quechua people in the highlands of Peru not only survive but also to thrive.

***Feliz Navidad*** from all the students at Casa Chapi! The students in this photo from October 2019 can’t wait until they can once again go to school on Casa Chapi’s campus. Thank you for your support of them as they study at home now.

Casa Chapi first grader Raul was just about to begin his first year at Casa Chapi when COVID-19 hit the Arequipa region of Peru very hard. Raul and his mother say, “Thank you” for food, schoolbooks, and anemia treatment for Raul. When you donate to HEALTHY KIDS, you provide anemia treatment for children like Raul.

When Quechua Benefit’s team conducted health check-ups in June, Victor was diagnosed with moderate anemia. He started taking iron supplements and multivitamins with iron. NOW he is no longer anemic!

Your generosity makes it possible to treat your kids for anemia and parasites. Healthy kids learn better and can achieve their dreams.

Angeles (6th grade) and Rosalyn (4th grade) have made great progress in their virtual learning! Their August reading scores are more than 15% higher than their assessments in June.

Thank you for the schoolbooks, internet and cellphones for kids to connect with their teachers. Your Casa Chapi kids are succeeding!

Quechua Benefit is committed to your Casa Chapi families during Peru’s continued Covid-19 quarantine. Your generous $100 donation provides a family with a 30-day supply of food.

100% of your donation reaches Casa Chapi kids and their families!
