Tania, a lawyer, has run this kitchen and dining room for 30 years, feeding Peruvians who fled violence in rural Peru in the 1990s. Romulo came to Peru fleeing poverty in Venezuela in 2019. He still struggles to make ends meet, but volunteers daily at the feeding center to help his neighbors in need, Peruvian and Venezuelan alike. SUMMARY: This is just one example of the good that comes when donors like USAID provide resources to organizations like World Vision to empower local service organizations like the Esperanza de Jesus II feeding center in north Lima. Between July 2019 and February 2020, World Vision Peru and Care Peru helped 27 feeding centers make 151,200 hot meals to feed 8,567 people and provided USD$2 million in cash transfers to 26,682 Venezuelans and Peruvians through the “Reduciendo la vulnerabilidad de los migrantes y refugiados venezolanos en Perú” project. World Vision managed 21 of the feeding centers, located in Lima, Tumbes, and Trujillo. In addition to food supplies, World Vision also provided training and learning materials to 330 feeding center leaders and volunteers. In total, the USAID-funded project reached 35,579 people.
