Helping Overcome Obstacles Peru Annual Report 2020 The Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns in most countries in 2020 hit all chari�es hard and fundraising ac�vi�es had to be suspended. However, the charity s�ll received dona�ons totalling £2,769, through easyfundraising.org, Virgin Giving (a new source of funds set up by Treasurer Kate Emery, and smile.amazon.co.uk Peru has been par�cularly badly hit by Covid, despite the government imposing a lockdown just 10 days a�er its first case was reported. Many businesses were closed, street vending forbidden, and residents were ordered to stay at home on 16 March. The death toll has been amongst the highest in the world , in part explained by Peru’s very poor healthcare system. Hundreds of families le� Arequipa and Flora Tristan for their rural hometowns, and the HOOP Peru school and entrepreneurial work programs ceased ini�ally. The emphasis of the charity switched to relief of hunger and social support for the remaining families. HOOP (UK) awarded a grant of £8,000 to assist the relief effort. One cause for celebra�on during the crisis was the establishing of two new HOOP groups in France and Germany, to join the Austrian and UK chari�es. A�er the ini�al period of lockdown HOOP UK assisted with several ini�a�ves to respond to the new emergency situa�on:- - The food baskets campaign has been extraordinarily successful, and Alonso (President of HOOP Peru) thanked everyone for their financial support. There have been four deliveries since lockdown. This has been a vital support to the community, where parents have been unable to work, and government support has been patchy. - The Mums have begun their own community projects, supported by HOOP. They have established a coopera�ve business using their kni�ng and sewing skills, which has provided them with a stable source of income. The Mums are no longer just beneficiaries of assistance, but par�cipants in shaping and deciding their own future. They have also begun an eco-project, crea�ng market gardens to grow and sell their own produce. The goal is to provide sustainable income for HOOP. - So that the kids can con�nue their educa�on, HOOP is se�ng up a remote learning training programme en�tled ‘por un Peru mejor.’ The focus is moving away from teaching English, towards teaching technology and life skills. The aim is to provide the kids with access to tablets - Social work will focus on job promo�on, job opportuni�es and promo�ng equality. - The psychology team has con�nued to offer counselling remotely. The Covid crisis has placed added stresses on families. The focus is on preven�ng violence and paren�ng style is the key to this. - - Medical health and wellbeing are promoted through workshops teaching nutri�on and good hygiene habits. The Trustees of Helping Overcome Obstacles Peru (UK) would like to thank all donors and volunteers for their con�nued support during this very difficult year.
