100% of all donations made towards this campaign will be used directly in support of Project La Merced, Peru.

La Merced focuses on prevention and health promotion with our partners, primarily educating people to work on their own personal health through educational sessions. The communities in which we work are quite far from the city, and most people do not have access to a store to acquire personal hygiene items. The objective of this project is to buy hygiene kits for our Vida Saludable program participants to complement the work that we conduct in these communities.

This project will contribute to an improvement of the health of the population and will reduce the incidence of diseases through the practice of healthy personal hygiene. Moreover, these materials will help the youth better put into practice what they have learned, such as proper hand-washing techniques.

A total of 130 hygiene items will be purchased with these funds. These hygiene kits will include the following items: shampoo, a hand towel, nail clippers, a lice comb, a regular comb, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and soap.
