Unveiling Callao's Realities
Founded in 1537 by Francisco Pizarro, Callao has gone through a lot of changes. A tidal wave following an earthquake demolished the city in 1746, but it was rebuilt about three-quarters of a mile from the original site.
Callao is also home to Coprodeli, it’s here where Coprodeli’s founder Father Miguel Ranera was sent on a missionary visit in the early 80’s and saw a grim reality where you either had to look the other way or lend a hand.

Coprodeli's Initiative in Callao
Callao had urban-shanty towns where people here often live off of what they made that day. Children had to work, missing meals, generating malnutrition and growing up without a proper education.
Taking notice of this Coprodeli developed it first two programs lines to begin intervening with the public in these areas by way of Education and Humanitarian Aid.
