In building this Workrooms and Kindergarten we attempt to achieve the following:

• To first and foremost to improve the very basic living conditions of the Community of San Clemente, Pisco.
• To offer a sewing workshop for teenagers to get better incomes.

• To offer a Kindergarten for kid’s ages 3 to 5 years old, for kids whom parents can not pay any tuition.

All of this among the many other benefits that we look forward to providing includes Internet access and a library.

Need for the Workrooms and Kindergarten
The idea of founding a Workrooms and Kindergarten is a common ground that unites families in this district. The most important ones can be listed as follows:

• Helping people feel a part of a community and belong to somewhere: After the 2007 earthquake many people lost their houses or were displaced from their dwellings. The local government gave this people a land to start a new life. Up to this time the support of the central government is null. Although the community has an official recognition, they do not have basic services such as potable water, electricity and paved streets. 
• The monthly income of an average family is USD 150 this amount just covers their very basic necessities 
• The health conditions of children are threatened by their very basic living conditions; they suffer with skin diseases, constant diarrhea, and mosquito vector diseases.
• Creating a workroom where unemployment teenagers and mothers can learn how to make clothes and then sell to get incomes to support their families. Educational activities like ELT lessons will be offered among the community with the participation of local and international volunteers.
