Lima, Peru — Since 2018
Every life
deserves
a chance.
Our mission is to create a Peru where every animal is safe, every child goes to school, and every family has a home worth living in.
Our Impact
Closing the Dog Lots
Lima has over 500 government-run dog lots — concrete prisons where animals are starved, overcrowded, and left to die. We work to close them one by one, replacing the lot model with humane care, proper feeding, and the vision of Bandi's Place: Peru's first open-access animal sanctuary.
Community Betterment
Neglected streets become safe spaces. Crumbling homes become places of dignity. We renovate streets, courtyards, and homes in Lima's poorest neighborhoods — turning slum areas into safe, affordable, peaceful blocks.
Stopping Zoonotic Diseases
This monkey was sold for $40 at a wet market in Peru — tied with cord, left on concrete. A live vector for rabies, leptospirosis, and Chagas disease. Lima's dog lots and wet markets are ground zero. We vaccinate at scale and shut down the transmission chain before the next outbreak.
"He built hospitals for children in the Andes. I built a clinic for his dog. Peru has a way of calling you back."
