Reaching the Highest Peaks

Our mission is to create brighter futures for children living in Peru’s highest peaks of the Andes Mountains by supporting families and schools with essential resources and reminding them that there is always hope for tomorrow.
Each year, we also bring the gift of Christmas—rooting children in joy, faith, and the love of Jesus, while reminding them that they are deeply cared for beyond their mountains.

For over 12 years, Angels of the Andes Mission has been bringing hope and joy to the mountains of Peru. Each Christmas, we reach more than 450 children, gifting them with clothing, school supplies, food, and the simple joy of receiving something special during the holidays.

But our mission goes beyond Christmas. Throughout the year, we help support 6 different churches and 4 different schools, helping to create brighter futures by building desks, playgrounds, libraries, and equipping kitchens so children can be nourished while they learn. These efforts create a safer, more supportive environment where children can grow, thrive, and dream big.

Every donation makes a lasting difference. 100% of your gift goes directly to the mission, helping families where they need it most. Together, we can continue reaching the highest peaks.
