We walk alongside resilient young women in rural Peru, providing scholarships, mentorship, and a community that turns ambition into lasting change.
Early Marriage. Early Pregnancy. Poverty. The expectation that a girl's place is at home. These aren't excuses—they are the barriers that end futures before they begin.
From the USA to the heart of Peru, we are united by a simple belief: educated women change the world. We've watched that belief come alive, one scholar at a time.
We provide resilient, high-achieving young women with the financial stability, mentorship, and psychological support they need to stay in school, earn their degrees, and become powerful agents of change—in their families and their communities.
The world loses something irreplaceable every time a young woman is denied the chance to become who she could be.
Cristhel embodies what Peruvian Hearts is all about: a young woman of exceptional talent who sees her education not as a finish line, but as a foundation for lifting others.
"I want people to feel inspired. In Peru we can do bigger things. I just want to be the change I wish to see in the world."
A degree is the start. What PH alumni build with it—in their careers, their families, and their communities—is the proof.
