CHS Alternativo

What CHS Alternativo does

CHS Alternativo (legal name: Capital Humano y Social Alternativo) is a Peruvian non-profit civil association founded in 2001 (firmographics) / 2005 (legal registration), headquartered in Miraflores, Lima, with four regional offices in Cusco, Loreto, Madre de Dios, and Puno, and project presence in Piura, Huánuco, La Libertad, and Arequipa. The organization specializes in combating human trafficking, sexual exploitation of children and adolescents (ESNNA, including online variants), forced labor, child labor, irregular migration, missing persons, and gender-based violence, serving vulnerable women, children, and adolescents across Peru through approximately 30 staff.

The organization's core offerings comprise four integrated programs: (1) CALP (Centro de Atención y Orientación Legal y Psicosocial), a free legal and psychosocial assistance center for trafficking and exploitation victims; (2) Veeduría Mirada Ciudadana, a citizen observatory created in 2008 with seven regional oversight bodies that monitors State compliance on trafficking prevention; (3) Aula Virtual, a free e-learning platform for capacity building; and (4) a 2026-launched educational video game for digital risk prevention among adolescents. Underlying technology includes digital platforms, a reporting/education portal, and cyberpatrolling capabilities for online ESNNA detection, though no AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

The organization operates on a grant-funded non-profit model, with all services provided free of charge. Revenue is generated almost exclusively from international development cooperation grants (USAID, EU cooperation, Spanish Cooperation / AIETI Madrid), formal cooperation agreements with Peruvian government ministries and regional/local governments, and private donations solicited through the "Dona ahora" campaign. Cumulative impact metrics include 75,170+ persons trained, 16,082+ justice operators with increased technical capacity, 19,473+ students reached via trained teachers, and 1,892+ trafficking victims receiving free legal assistance and protection.
