A powerful earthquake, magnitude 8, devastated cities in Ica (Pisco,Chincha) south of Lima, the capital of Peru.

The death toll is over 500, and still rising, but the immediate need for the almost 100,000 people, with no food, water, electricity or many even homeless, during winter time is extreme. They need urgently your help!


Four members of Peruviana Group LLC travelled to Peru and brough our customers' gifts of supplies/medicine/food to victims of earthquake. We were there when trucks were loaded with the supplies we bought on your behalf (for pictures, please check our Blog: http://wwww.peruviana.blogspot.com

Cons: Website only in Spanish, and a little bit slow.

Save the Children! For English Speaking donors, one of our favorite charities, with little overhead (barely 5%) and we know as a fact, they were one of the first ones to show up in Pisco.

Caritas - Peru (direct link to local chapter)
We have been informed they run a very efficient and organized chapter. The website is in Spanish, and they require a Verified Visa Card for donations (which you can do in a few minutes at their website).


For those who have entrusted us with their gift-donations, it was a privilege and an honor for us to be messengers/carriers of your gifts. All our donors were emails a link to a Google Docs chart detailing how many donations for supplies we received, what we purchased and who received your gift.

We ask for your good wishes and continuous prayers for our dear Peru!

With sincere gratitude!
