Preventive Juvenile Center in the district of Salamanca is the main limeño center for marginalized and homeless children. Peruanitos President Jimmy Perez Johnson Foundation came to the center in 2005 to better appreciate the daily life truly compelling children have been abandoned in the Peruvian streets. The visit left him horrified. There was no hot water. Toilets were broken. Paint was peeling from the walls.
Foundation Peruanitos returned to Salamanca in May 2006 to transform the center into a decent home for children. He remodeled the kitchen, dining rooms and bathrooms, all inside the building was painted, and diapers, clothing, televisions and computers will be delivered. Children living amid so much sadness they were cheered by donations and improvements to your home. The joy on their faces made clear the importance of the work of the foundation and served as inspiration to encourage everyone to work even harder towards children.
