Our goal
is to raise $10,000 to help make the Hijos de Luya day care center project a reality.
We’re a group of runners taking on races at the Marathon Oasis de Montréal day September 14th 2008 to raise funds for Reach Out To Humanity. The charity, founded on the principle that every human being has the right to their fundamental needs met regardless of race, gender or religion, will journey to Peru in Autumn 2008 to build a much needed day care centre for children in the Lima slum of Hijos de Luya.

About the day care.
The population of Lima’s slums has today reached 5 million. In Hijos de Luya, poor hygienic conditions, precarious shelter,
and scarce electric and water sources are part of an everyday struggle for survival. With the extremely humid climate, poorly
nourished and clothed children are plagued by respiratory and infectious diseases. Vaccinations are unaffordable. Parents
working long hours in low-paying jobs outside the slums must leave them alone, unattended. Juvenile crime is on the rise.
The Luya day care centre will provide at least 100 disadvantaged children between the ages of 3 and 5 years of age with
basic education and two healthy meals per day as well as vaccinations and general health services. It will also ensure them
proper registration with the Peruvian government. ROTH hopes that this initiative will encourage future global
partnerships for the development of this district of Lima, Peru.
