About Community Economic Development

Volunteers help artisan groups, agricultural associations, and other small businesses improve their incomes through better marketing, accounting, and management practices. Volunteers also teach youth entrepreneurship classes and facilitate the development of community banks to expand credit in rural areas.

Goal 1: Business Consulting

Goal 2: Economic Opportunities for Women and Young People

Goal 3: Financial Education and Community Banks

After 34 months in Peru, I am on my very first solo vacation. Since I came to Peru knowing exactly 0 people, this is a testament to the open, generous, and accepting people I have met along the way. I’m feeling completely humbled and grateful for everyone I have met in Peru this morning as I watch the sun clear the clouds off the Andes ❤️
Good morning, Lima 🧡💚

Today I’m celebrating the life of my grandmother who passed away yesterday. She wrote me a letter on hand colored stationary just about every week I have been in Peru (and just about every week of my life). She even started writing Jorge over the past year. We will miss her.
