We at Wasi Esperanza (House of Hope) offer psychological guidance to more than 80 children and teenagers with physical disabilities and their families living in poverty in urban, peri-urban and rural areas in the Ayacucho region. Through individual therapies, workshops with parents, support groups, fraternization activities and home visits, we will be able to promote their mental health, improve their quality of life and empower them to achieve integral rehabilitation and social inclusion.

The project consists of facilitating the inclusion of poor children with disabilities in the regular education system in Ayacucho, Peru. This will be done through a personalized follow-up to the beneficiary children, giving them sessions of academic reinforcement, continuous visits of the schools, sensitization of teachers and classmates. All this will be reinforced by the work of the multidisciplinary team of the Wasi Esperanza rehabilitation centre, that works more than 6 years in this area.
