Peruvian Hearts

Pati runs toward every finish line. On the road and in life. 👟🔥

In her final semester of Administration at UNSAAC in Cusco, she's completing her last internship before her Bachelor's degree and thesis. From scholar to leader, she has never stopped moving forward. 💪

"Peruvian Hearts didn't just support my studies. It helped me discover my leadership, strengthen my confidence, and believe in the potential I have as a woman." ✨

She's already thinking bigger than herself. 🌟 "I want to use my education to build more human organizations, spaces where people feel heard, valued, and motivated to grow, both professionally and personally." 🌱💼

💛 Thank you to every supporter who believed in her. You funded a degree and ignited a leader who will spend her life lifting others up. 🌎❤️‍🔥

Leidy Libertad didn't wait for her diploma to make a difference. 🙋‍♀️

A sixth-semester law student at UNSAAC and a Peruvian Hearts Scholar, Leidy co-founded CEDAIM (Clínica Jurídica de Estudio, Defensa, Asesoría e Investigación Multidisciplinaria), a student-run legal clinic providing free research, advice, and defense to people in her community who can't afford representation. We are proud to share that CEDAIM recently formalized a partnership with the Cusco Bar Association—a milestone that reflects Leidy's leadership and opens new doors for the clinic to serve even more people. 👏

For Leidy, law is more than a career, it's a way to serve.

"Every day brings new challenges. To face them, I need to be clear about what I'm capable of—and what I've already proven to myself."

At Peruvian Hearts, we get to walk alongside driven young women leaders like Leidy—scholars who are already in motion, already becoming professionals investing in their communities. Our role is simple: make sure nothing stops them. And none of it is possible without the generous supporters who make this work possible. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

Happy Pay It Forward Day! 💛

Today we celebrate YOU and the generosity you've poured into Peruvian Hearts. 💕

Your support makes it possible for young women in Peru to pursue their education and dreams and creates a ripple of change.

From environmental clean-ups to serving at the Mother Teresa Home, the PH Scholars are always finding ways to give back. 🤗 Over the past few months, that's included showing up at Casa San José to tutor, encourage, and play with the next generation of children in their community (pictured above). 🥰

We are incredibly proud of the PH Scholars for modeling servant leadership. 👏

To our supporters: thank you for believing in our mission to empower and educate women. ❤️

To the PH Scholars and PH Alumni: thank you for inspiring us with your resilience and commitment to service. 🙌
