Help Young People in Peru PDF Print E-mail

There are many ways in which you can become involved with The Colour of Hope and our work. There’s something for you to do, however much or little time you have on your hands. Here are some of the most effective direct and indirect ways you can help young people in Peru:Image

 

Sponsor a Young Person

Sponsoring a young person is one of the most effective and rewarding ways you can support The Colour of Hope's work in Peru. Sponsor a young adult through our training programme and you will give him/her a chance to become the independent and successful person he or she deserves to be. Many of our young people already have children and the support you provide will go a long way in bringing lasting change to these young families. 

 

Make a Donation

Donations from the general public make up one of The Colour of Hope's main funding sources. We are very grateful for all donations, however large or small. How can I donate to The Colour of Hope?

 

Hold a Fundraiser

Holding a charity fundraising event can be a very successful and fun way of supporting The Colour of Hope. Events so far have included:

  • Talks at community meetings (e.g. church groups, youth groups etc.) One church talk raised over £600 this year! 
  • Talks at primary schools (perhaps the whole school could sponsor a young person - just £1 each from a primary school of 450 children would cover the costs)  
  • Talks at secondary schools (either suggest a form group or year sponsoring a young person or do a “gap year” talk for sixth formers and offer volunteering opportunities in Peru.)
  • Peruvian Parties & Peruvian Evenings with Peruvian food, Latin American music, salsa dancing etc. Evenings like this have raised almost £1000 in the past. 
  • A “Charioke” – Charity Kareoke whereby person A promises to donate £5 for person B to sing a song, and person B can then either sing or outbid person A if they chose not to. The bidding can then continue indefinitely!Jess and Rosa Batten-Stevens' Carnival Costumes 2008 
  • Art exhibitions with a percentage of profits donated to The Colour of Hope. The Dartmoor Contemporary Art Exhibition raised £235 for The Colour of Hope in 2007.
  • Coffee mornings with a discussion about the issues involved, selling cakes etc.These can raise over £500 a time if you publicise them well.
  • Charity Jazz evenings - one evening raised over £1000 for The Colour of Hope in 2007.
  • Sponsored events, such as walks, carnivals, bungee jumps etc. Our star fundraisers for 2008, Jess and Rosa Batten-Stevens, (aged 10 and 8) have raised a stunning total of £1150 by taking part in this year’s East Devon Carnivals.
