Volunteer Opportunities in Peru


The majority of Peru’s history and culture comes from the Incan Empire, one of the largest empires in Pre-Colombian America. It was the Incans that built and inhabited Machu Picchu, and also spoke the indigenous tongue, Quechua. However a lot of the indigineous culture was destroyed after the Spanish conquest of Peru. Today there is a huge gap in the income, lifestyle and socio-economic status of the country’s population.
The majority of Peruvians lack good education, proper healthcare and sustainable community development. This makes volunteering abroad in Peru critical and volunteers play a vital role in shaping the country’s modern society. When you Volunteering Abroad in Peru you can work in the rural communities to help with community development by building, planning and teaching skills to the locals. Volunteering in healthcare is also popular, as many Peruvians do not have access to skilled health professionals and care.
