What we do
- A provisional home
- Three family homes
- .We give support in Ccorca
•We give shelter to abandoned and at-risk children in our residential homes, where we aim to provide their material, physical, educational, emotional and spiritual needs in as familiar an atmosphere as possible.
We have a transient home and three family houses, which are in Cusco near one another.
A provisional home
The home is located in the city of Cusco, with 35 places for boys and girls. 30 of these children are from 0 to 3 years old.
In the home they are provided with full care; this means a place to live, education, and medical and psychological care, since in many cases the children arrive malnourished, with parasites, with no previous schooling and with psychological problems stemming from a lack of affection, maltreatment, and even sexual abuse.
As well as abandoned children, the centre takes in children at risk. This means the cases in which, either through neglect or temporary or permanent incapacity, the family cannot cover the child's needs, thus putting her/his development and social adjustment at risk.
This centre accepts children day and night and at weekends (it is the first centre that the Comisaria de Familia de Cusco - Cusco's Family Care police force - come to). The home also receives children with disabilities who benefit from integration with non-disabled children.
Three family houses
These are three houses separate from but near the Provisional home, where ten girls and boys live under the care of surrogate parents. They are given individual care in a family environment.
We work with a multidisciplinary team of local professionals in order to respect and boost the cultural identity of the area.

ADOPCIÓN EN PERÚ: . . . www. mimdes gob.pe
SECRETARÍA NACIONAL DE ADOPCIONES
En Perú, los CAR (Centros de Atención Residencial) se responsabilizan de la atención integral del menor ingresado, así como de emitir todos los informes sobre su situación. Es el Estado -a través de los Juzgados de Familia y Fiscalias que hacen la Investigación por Abandono y del MIMDES que busca familias aptas para adoptar a los niños y niñas cuya investigación concluye en Sentencia de Abandono- el único con facultades y autorización para entregar a los menores en adopción.
Hasta el momento en Amantaní han podido salir con una familia adoptiva 180 niños, lo que supone un 19% de los niños ingresados.
