What Aldeas Infantiles SOS Peru does

Aldeas Infantiles SOS Peru is a Peruvian nonprofit charitable organization (ONG) founded in 1972 as the local affiliate of SOS Children's Villages International, the largest social development organization in the world working on the rights of children and adolescents. It operates 14 program sites across 10 regions of Peru (Cajamarca, Lambayeque, Lima, Callao, Junín, Ayacucho, Cusco, Arequipa, Puno, and Tumbes) and serves approximately 43,000 children, adolescents, youth, and families each year, with cumulative impact exceeding half a million people since 1972. Its core service lines are Cuidado Alternativo (family-based alternative care for children without parental care), Fortalecimiento Familiar (family strengthening to prevent separation), Compromiso con la Niñez (advocacy and policy work), and Acción Humanitaria (emergency response). Specialized programs include YouthCan! for employability, ConectadaSOS for digital safety, and Hablemos Ya for child sexual abuse prevention.

The operating model is funded through a diversified mix of individual recurring donations (Amigo SOS, Padrino SOS), corporate alliances under the Aliados por la Niñez program (with anchors including DHL, Bata, Cummins, Scotiabank, Aeropuertos del Peru, ESET, and others), annual flagship events (Cena Subasta Gala de Estrellas Solidarias, Carrera 8K Corriendo por una Infancia Feliz), solidarity product sales, and international federation transfers. The organization is governed by a National Council of Directors under Nancy Martínez Pacheco (Directora Nacional) and Sonia Frisancho (Presidenta del Consejo Directivo), with audited financials by EY and PwC and a Keeping Children Safe Level 1 certification (February 2024). It targets serving 163,000+ direct participants under its 2023-2026 strategic plan and operational self-sustainability by 2030.

The technology layer is non-proprietary: standard nonprofit web infrastructure for donations, event ticketing (Teleticket), email/newsletter, and organic social media (Instagram, TikTok). Distribution is anchored by 14 physical program sites plus a growing channel layer that now includes donation boxes at six airports and an academic partnership network. The organization's competitive position rests on its global brand affiliation, KCS-certified safeguarding framework, dense corporate ally ecosystem, and 50+ years of accumulated trust with Peruvian institutional funders and donors.
