Hogar de Madres Adolescentes
A home for teenage mothers and their babies: nursery, craft workshops and school support.
CuscoDetails in preparation: this project’s specifics are confirmed when you book.
About the place
A shelter for teenagers who became mothers very young and have nowhere to stay with their babies. There they live, finish their studies and learn a trade in leather-craft and handicraft workshops, while the babies stay in a nursery inside the same home, with a playground and a garden.
Why they need volunteers
They need hands in the nursery (feeding, playing with and stimulating the babies), to accompany the moms with their school work and workshops, and professionals (psychology, nursing, early education) willing to contribute.
What you will help with
- Support in the babies’ nursery
- Early stimulation and play
- Accompany the moms with their school work
- Handicraft and leather workshops
- English and computing
A typical day
You arrive in the morning and, depending on what the home needs, you are in the nursery with the babies or in the workshops and study room with the moms. Always alongside a staff member.
What we ask of you
Patience, affection and discretion: these are girls at a delicate stage. Experience with babies or small children is a plus.
Getting there from the volunteer house
