ANAR Foundation (Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk)

The ANAR Foundation Peru was set up in 1995 with the opening of the Santa Felicia Home in Lima.

On 8 July 1998 the ANAR Helpline for Children and Teenagers at Risk opened in Lima. This is a confidential, freephone service with the aim of listening and offering psychological guidance, social support and legal advice for children and youngsters in Peru.

It functions in a similar way to the ANAR Phoneline in Spain: staffed by a team of professionals (psychologists, social workers, lawyers and educators), many of whom are volunteers. The ANAR Foundation is able, through the ANAR Phoneline,
to reach populations that would otherwise be inaccessible. It is delivering help to children and teenagers in all regions of Peru.
