Natali, one of the young people The Colour of Hope is sponsoring, has just received her first pay cheque from Wall Luxury Fibre Clothing Company! She has completed this first month of her placement with a glowing report from Wall providers here in Lima. They have confirmed that she is putting 100% effort into her work and responding very well to the training programme so far.
Natali's partner, Hugo, has also been working hard this month and is well on the way to learning how to set up a small business. He hopes to start a corner shop with the help of The Colour of Hope.
Well done Natali and Hugo, and a big thank you to their sponsors, Jess and Rose from Ottery St Mary.
The Colour of Hope is a British Charity working to reduce poverty, advance education and promote employment amongst disadvantaged young people leaving care homes in Lima, Peru.
Most of these young people have previously been street children and still bear the marks of extreme poverty, drug addiction and abuse. Once they grow up, they’re forced to leave care, find work and start supporting themselves. Yet the troubles they’ve suffered, lack of family support and insufficient funds make this almost impossible. Many end up right back where they started – living on the streets.
The Colour of Hope's youth reintegration programme and microfinance scheme help these underprivileged young people to become part of their community and to find dignified work; they give them a chance for change.
