Christmas 2023
Donation protected
Hello! We are a group of eleven siblings that founded the Nilda Ayerve D. Foundation in memory of our mother, who passed away more than twenty-five years ago. Our mission and vision are to continue with our mother’s legacy – to bring a smile to the less fortunate kids. These kids live in extreme poverty in Peru. The NAD Foundation currently focuses on helping children living in the surroundings of Tambobamba – a town located in the south of Peru.
Our annual Chocolatada Navideña, which is to serve hot chocolate and fruitcake during Christmas (a Peruvian tradition), started in 2014. With the money we raise this year, we hope to provide school supplies, warm clothing, and our yearly toys and hot chocolate. Last year, with all the donations collected, we were able to give backpacks, school supplies, warm hats, scarfs, blankets and toys to more than 200 children. We hope to raise enough this year to continue bringing smiles in the simplest of things to the children in the south of Peru.
We are a very small Foundation; family oriented and run by the family. We believe that Christmas is a season to share and give. Our mother always taught us that the best gift to receive is to see someone smile by your gift. Many of these children have never received a toy for Christmas or even on their birthdays. They live in extreme poverty, and in most cases, they do not have enough food on the table. We try to give them something little to bring them joy and happiness.
Please visit our website https://fundacionnildaayerved.org to find more information about us on our past events. You can also visit our social media account Facebook page Fundacion Nilda Ayerve D, and Instagram @fundacionnad to see all the photos and videos from previous Christmas events. We hope to bring smiles to as many children as possible this year.
We thank you in advance for donating! :)
