Peru

In the 1980s and 1990s, ORT established six mother-and-child and education centers in Peru and implemented a distance learning project which provided skills training to 3,000 students.

Today, the ORT committee in the capital, Lima, leads fundraising efforts and provides a link with the Colegio Leon Pinelo, the only school serving the city’s Jewish community.

Recognised as one of the best schools in the country it participates in World ORT programs as part of its ICT syllabus. Students from the school have also taken part in World ORT’s Ecology Summer School in Panama.
