Sobre nosotros
Hands on Peru is a nonprofit organization, headquartered in Peru and US and co-founded by two global health advocates, Katie Baric, MPH, from North Carolina and Rosa Sanchez-Brem, RN from Trujillo, Peru. Hands on Peru was founded in 2013 as a response to the deep inequities in access to medical care among the rural poor of Peru and the societal structures that actively or passively sustained this injustice.
We deeply recognize the importance of cultural exchange and global awareness of such public health needs in low and middle income countries, and we work to fill those gaps through the use of international medical volunteers. We hope to inspire all of our 100+ volunteers to return to low income countries to give service as their careers later develop.
