Peruvian Hearts


An 11-year-old American girl was so moved by her first visit to an orphanage in Peru that she decided to start her own non-profit. Ana Dodson's Peruvian Hearts seeks to improve the quality of life for children in extreme poverty. Education, health care and nutrition are the focus. The children benefit with vitamins, school supplies, books, and clothing. Peruvian Hearts has paid for medical and dental exam. They are planning partnerships with medical missions to promote good health. 

Solar water heaters provided by the organization have made warm baths possible for the first time in the children's lives.
