In Peru, more than 1.7 million older adults live in conditions of vulnerability, and according to public records, over 30% of them face abandonment, social isolation, or lack of basic resources. In remote rural and Amazonian communities, the reality is even harsher: thousands of elders survive without stable access to food, healthcare, or family support. Many live in small wooden homes, far from markets, clinics, or government programs. Their isolation is not only geographic—it is emotional and social.
This Giving Tuesday, AGAPE HAND is raising support for 1,200 abandoned elders (“abuelitos”) who urgently need consistent access to nutritious food and human connection. These elders are not statistics—they are people who once worked the land, cared for their families, and contributed to their communities. Today, many of them face their final years alone, with little more than determination to survive.
Through our Feeding Hands Program, we deliver nutritious food baskets, warm meals, hygiene supplies, and regular visits to elders living in extreme vulnerability. Our team reaches remote communities in the Peruvian Amazon and Central Jungle—areas where food insecurity is severe and where older adults often go unnoticed by formal systems.
We do not offer charity based on pity. We offer dignity, respect, and human connection.
Your Giving Tuesday contribution has the power to:
- Ensure consistent food support for abandoned elders
- Reach remote communities that rarely receive assistance
- Provide emotional companionship and follow-up visits
- Strengthen a sustainable community-based support model
When you give, you become part of a movement that restores dignity and hope to forgotten elders.
This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to stand with them. Share your gratitude in the most meaningful way—by ensuring that no elder is left behind.
