A. GENERAL INFORMATION:

Our History: Founded in 1998, COPRODELI USA is a Chicago-based non-profit organization dedicated to the comprehensive development of the poorest children and families of Callao, Peru. Volunteers from the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and from among the disadvantaged people of Peru provide hope and vital services to those in need.

Geographic Area and Beneficiaries We Serve: COPRODELI works for the comprehensive development of poor communities in Callao (North Lima), Peru. COPRODELI manages programs that serve more than 50,000 people yearly in some of the most impoverished communities in Peru.
B. SERVICE TRIP: In an effort to strengthen the grassroots programs and activities carried out in Peru, Coprodeli USA organizes two service trips per year. Volunteers spend one week in Peru with other volunteers living and working among the children of Coprodeli. The donated time and attention are precious resources that volunteers can bring to the schools, residences, medical centers, and dental clinics of Callao and Pachacutec.
