Our projects

in Peru

More than 40 projects have already been realized in the poor neighborhoods of Peru. Pan de Vida is active in several departementos (regions). We distribute meals, take care of children, and support families. Together, we are building a promising future. Will you help us?

Our mission

Pan de Vida, meaning ‘Bread that gives life’, wants to give underprivileged children in Peru a promising future by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ and providing them with healthy food, school supplies, scholarships, and other materials that promote the well-being of children.

Carlos explains

The beginning

“If you look into the eyes of one of the Peruvian children, you know that the help we give is not merely a drop in the ocean. I once belonged to that group of children who had no hope and no future. Miraculously, God sent me to the Netherlands to be adopted”.

Documentary (1)

“He knows my name”

Documentary (2)

“A Journey Of Miracles”

At the age of 20, Carlos left everything behind to help Peru’s poorest children. Within a year, his dream had disappeared, and he only had crackers left to eat. At that time, his adoptive mother embarked on an extraordinary adventure. In this moving documentary, Carlos and Aukje tell how her wonderful journey led to thousands of children in Peru being fed every day. This film has been awarded a Crown Award in America and Europe.
