MISSION PERU: STUDENT EDUCATION
Empowering Young Adults To Learn, Grow, And Become Leaders
Across Peru, many young adults finish high school but have no clear path forward. Limited resources, high costs, and lack of mentorship keep them from pursuing further education.
Through our Construyendo Bases (“Building Foundations”) program, The Mission Co equips students to continue their studies, develop leadership skills, and build stronger futures for themselves and their communities. Each graduate represents lasting, generational change.
WHY SUPPORT YOUNG ADULTS IN PERU?
Building Foundations for Peru's Future Leaders
At first glance, Peru looks like a nation on the rise. Economic growth has improved infrastructure, business, and access in some regions, but only a small percentage of people have truly benefited. Those with higher education often move ahead, while many young adults remain stuck without resources or guidance to take the next step.
That reality inspired Construyendo Bases (“Building Foundations”). For nearly a decade, our partners Samuel and Melissa have walked alongside young adults who want to learn, work, and provide for their families—but who simply lack access to opportunity. They’ve seen the difference education makes between surviving and truly thriving.
In Peru, the average monthly wage is around $310 USD, while the average cost to live and study is roughly $750 USD. That gap alone explains why so many students never reach higher education—despite their determination to do so.
​
Through Construyendo Bases, we’re bridging that gap by providing scholarships, mentorship, and community support that help students become well-rounded individuals and be an important part of giving the same opportunities to future generations.

Each of these students has a story to tell and your giving helps them pursue degrees, become well-rounded individuals, and give back to their communities.
Are You Ready To Help Our Students Reach Their Full Potential?
When you give, you’re investing in more than education—you’re building confident leaders who can change their communities from within.
$40 a month can change a life in Peru.
That’s all it takes to provide a student with everything they need for a day; education, supplies, room and board, transportation, meals, and healthcare—so they can focus on learning and building a better future.
Our goal is to fill this entire calendar with partners who choose to sponsor one day, two days, or even a full week each month. Every commitment helps create consistency and stability for our students.

By supporting The Mission Co and Mission Peru, you’re not just changing a student’s life—you’re investing in the next generation of leaders.
