Founded in 2004, we are a community-based non-profit in northern Peru. We run community development and education projects in English, literature, youth, environmental and gender issues involving local beneficiaries from informal settlements, with cross cutting themes of refugee support, adaptation to climate change, development and disaster risk reduction. On of our core projects is "La Rampa" a small skatepark and community educational center for the kids of "Cerrito de la Virgen" an informal settlement arround Hunanchaco. Even though Huanchaco itself is a vibrant beachtown and the birthplace of surfing, many families in the sourrounding settlements facing critical economic problems. "La Rampa" is a project of open youth work, providing a safe and stable place for the kids, as well as room for their personal development.  With the help of local and international volunteers and in cooperation with Concrete Jungle Foundation, we offer free skateclasses, but also tutoring, English  and enviroment classes.
