Support is vital in helping

In May 1999, inspired by a five-month visit working with the Coprodeli children in Callao, long-time Chicago resident Thomas McDonald returned to the Windy City and established Coprodeli USA. Mr. McDonald was vital in founding Coprodeli USA’s offices in the US. Registering it as a 501 (c)(3) and able to take in volunteers. The mission was clear, raise funds to support Coprodeli’s efforts in Peru. In Peru, Coprodeli efforts are what today is known as Our Programs: Education, People At-Risk, Humanitarian Aid, Employment & Job Training, and Habitat.

Operating in Chicago since 1999, Washington D.C. since 2007 and today with an in house Program Director based in Lima, Coprodeli USA’s mission is to support the integral development work of Coprodeli in Peru with financial and in-kind donations, expert knowledge, volunteer participation, and other activities to provide for fundamental needs, promote education and job training, and develop strong self-sustaining community programs to diminish poverty and social exclusion in Peru.

Coprodeli USA’s work has been strengthened over the years with volunteer efforts and a growing network of individual supporters. Our institutional and corporate support network has also grown over the years allowing us to focus on these Corporate Social Responsibility to support Coprodeli’s mission.
