My Mission: "I want to improve education and empower children in impoverished areas throughout Peru."

Mi Casa de Angeles was founded in 2009 by Gabriella Brignardello for the purpose of raising funds to build schools and support a higher quality of education in impoverished areas throughout Peru.  The inspiration for creating this non-profit organization came to Gabriella at a very early age while visiting Peru and witnessing the hardships that many destitute children faced on a daily basis.  She immediately realized that she wanted to make a change in these children's lives.

Needy Peruvian children face three main problems: poverty, chronic malnutrition, and lack of education.  The goal of Mi Casa de Angeles is to provide a positive environment, a safe place to live, healthy nutrition, and a high level of education for these children.  Mi Casa de Angeles is committed to empowering these children with knowledge and improving their lives so that they can have a better opportunity to succeed in society.
