Across Peru, thousands of older adults in rural and Amazonian regions live with severe food insecurity, surviving without a stable income, nearby markets, or access to social programs. Many depend entirely on irregular harvests or on the kindness of neighbors who are also struggling. According to national data, a significant percentage of rural households face food scarcity at least once a week, and elders are the most affected.

This Giving Tuesday, AGAPE HAND is raising its voice for them through the Solidarity Baskets Program, a community-driven effort that provides nutritious food baskets to families and elders living in extreme poverty and isolation. These baskets include essentials such as oats, rice, oil, legumes, pasta, and other staples that ensure a family can eat with dignity for several days.

We do not portray vulnerability to provoke pity. Our mission is based on dignity, respect, and solidarity—values that remind us that every human being deserves access to food, care, and presence. When our team visits communities like Doña Rosa’s, we bring more than food: we bring connection, conversation, and a reminder that no one is forgotten.

Your participation in Giving Tuesday allows us to reach more isolated districts, more abandoned elders, and more families struggling with silent hunger. Together, we can strengthen a food bank model adapted to rural Peru—one that prioritizes community participation and long-term resilience.

This Giving Tuesday, transform gratitude into impact.
Let your generosity reach families who live far beyond the cities, where hunger remains unseen.

At Agape Hand, we believe that no one should be left behind.

Partnering with food banks, the World Food Programme, and World Vision, we ensure that every donation becomes nourishment, dignity, and hope.

Your support allows us to rescue tons of good food that would otherwise go to waste — food that now fills the tables of seniors living alone, children in rural areas, and families who have lost everything. Together, we are creating a sustainable cycle of care: fighting food waste, reducing hunger, and restoring humanity.

When you give, you are not just donating — you are transforming lives. Your contribution keeps kitchens running, volunteers delivering, and communities thriving.

As a food bank project with a global mission, we align with leading organizations such as the World Food Programme, World Vision, and other humanitarian partners, working to ensure that food excess is transformed into nourishment and hope. Our mission goes beyond providing meals: it restores dignity, strengthens community, and builds bridges of compassion between those who have enough and those who have nothing.

By donating to Hands that Feed, you are not just contributing money—you are investing in a system of food rescue and redistribution that multiplies impact. Each contribution allows us to recover fresh products, transport them efficiently, and deliver them directly to communities where abandoned seniors, malnourished children, and struggling families await.

Together, we can reverse the tragedy of waste and replace it with abundance. Imagine a world where every plate is full, where grandparents are cared for, and where food nourishes lives instead of being thrown away. With your support, this vision can become reality.

Join us today. Be part of a movement that transforms waste into hope. Support Agape Hand’s Hands that Feed Campaign and help us write a new story of solidarity.

The face of poverty in Peru has changed, but its pain remains the same. Today, while the country shows macroeconomic progress, millions of Peruvians are falling behind in their quality of life. Poverty and extreme poverty have reached alarming levels once again, leaving a deep mark especially on Indigenous communities, high-Andean areas, and informal settlements on the outskirts of cities.

The images we see —a mother walking under the scorching sun, carrying her child and water across a barren urban desert, or a boy caring for his baby sister instead of playing— are not isolated scenes. They are daily realities for more than 9 million Peruvians.

What is the current situation?

According to Peru’s National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI), monetary poverty rose to 29.0% in 2023, affecting nearly 9.8 million people. Of these, over 1.7 million live in extreme poverty, unable to meet even their most basic food needs.

The most affected regions include Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Puno, Loreto, and Cajamarca, though urban belts of Lima and other regional capitals also suffer from severe structural poverty.

Why is poverty increasing?

• Unemployment and underemployment: The economic crisis post-COVID, coupled with ongoing political instability, has weakened Peru’s job market. Millions now work informally, earning below survival wages.
• Food inflation: Rising prices for essential goods have drastically reduced purchasing power, particularly for low-income families.
• Unequal access to basic services: Many rural and peri-urban areas lack clean water, electricity, healthcare, and education.
• Climate change: Droughts, natural disasters, and crop losses further threaten food security, especially in farming communities.

What is Agape Hand doing about it?

At Ágape Hand, we don’t watch poverty from a distance — we work in it, with it, and for it.

Our organization has launched several direct-action programs in areas most affected by extreme poverty, focusing on:

Solidarity Food Banks

We distribute nutritious, essential food to hundreds of families in rural and Indigenous communities, ensuring no child goes to bed hungry.

Water for Life

We bring clean, safe water to areas with severe shortages, using sustainable solutions like community tanks and filtration systems.

Child Education and Nutrition

We promote holistic development for children through school support, healthy meals, and emotional care. Poverty doesn’t just take away food — it takes away opportunity.

Women’s Empowerment

We support women-led households with training, tools, and community support networks so they can generate income and build dignified futures for their children.

What must be done?

Fighting poverty in Peru is not the government’s responsibility alone — it’s everyone’s: citizens, businesses, social organizations, and the global community.

It’s time to:

• Increase social investment with a regional approach.
• Strengthen rural education and primary healthcare.
• Create decent and sustainable jobs.
• Guarantee fair access to food and water.
• Support grassroots efforts like Ágape Hand that work from within the heart of the crisis.

Every child carrying their sibling instead of a schoolbag.
Every mother walking miles with an empty bucket.
Every family unsure of their next meal.

They all are calling out to us.

What will we do about it?

At Ágape Hand, we’ve already started. And you can be part of this transformation.
Join us as a donor, volunteer, or ally.
Because no one should fight hunger, thirst, or neglect alone.

A farmer doesn’t just plant crops — they plant hope. In many rural regions of Latin America, farmers face harsh conditions, limited resources, and a lack of government support. Yet, they continue. Their work is vital to ensuring food security, nutrition for vulnerable families, and sustainable community development.

🌱 Farmers in the Fight Against Hunger

At Ágape Hand, our mission to feed families in need would be impossible without farmers. They are the very first link in the chain that brings food to the tables of those who need it most. Through partnerships with local producers, agricultural cooperatives, and rural markets, we rescue fresh food and deliver it to communities where hunger remains a daily reality.

Every potato, every grain of corn, every leafy green that reaches a child suffering from anemia or a mother unable to feed her family carries behind it the quiet, noble work of a farmer.

🌍 Together for a Just and Sustainable Future

Celebrating Farmer’s Day is more than just saying thanks — it’s about recognizing their right to live in dignity, with access to healthcare, education, clean water, and fair markets. As an NGO, Ágape Hand works tirelessly to reduce food waste, improve distribution logistics, and ensure that surplus food reaches the areas most affected by hunger — many of which are rural and agricultural zones.

This commitment not only fights hunger but also empowers farmers, giving them social and economic value.

🙌 How You Can Help

Today, you can go beyond just celebrating:

✅ Donate food or resources via our website
✅ Share their stories — help amplify the voices of those often forgotten
✅ Support local and fair trade
✅ Join Agape Hand — as a volunteer, donor, or business ally

❤️ Thank You, Farmers, for Sustaining Life

From mountains to valleys, plains to villages… your hands don’t just grow food — they grow the future. At Ágape Hand, we stand committed to you: our fight against hunger starts by protecting those who produce our food.

Happy Farmer’s Day. 🌾✨

The video takes us to a regular morning in a region where poverty is not a statistic—it’s a daily reality. The camera follows our team of volunteers as they unload boxes filled with nutritious products, carefully selected through the support of food banks, farmers, and corporate partners.

Children run when they see the truck arriving. A mother, holding her baby, sheds silent tears as she receives rice, lentils, and milk. An elderly man warmly grasps a volunteer’s hand in deep gratitude. There are no scripts. No actors. Only truth. Only need. Only humanity.

Throughout the video, a voiceover shares hard facts: over 30% of the world’s food is wasted, while more than 820 million people go hungry. At Ágape Hand, we decided to take action. And every food delivery like this one proves what’s possible when surplus becomes sustenance.

This video doesn’t just document a delivery. It documents hope in motion. Because behind every box, there is a story. Behind every smile, a network of committed hearts. And behind every volunteer, someone like you—who chose not to stay silent.

Want to see what it means to feed with love? Watch the video. Share it. Join the movement. Because feeding is an act of justice.
