Within the spirit of #GivingTuesday, a global movement that inspires generosity in every corner of the world, we invite you to transform your solidarity into real hope for the most vulnerable communities across the Amazonian highlands and rainforest. Today, the Shipibo and Asháninka peoples face an alarming lack of food—an emergency worsened by geographic isolation and the limited access they have to essential resources.

Your contribution this Giving Tuesday carries multiplied value: every donation is DOUBLED, allowing more families to receive a Solidarity Basket, a vital lifeline filled with nutritious food and basic necessities. Giving today not only transforms individual lives, but also strengthens the resilience of entire communities that struggle daily to survive.

This is the moment to act. Your gesture can make a profound difference in homes where hunger is a constant challenge. Join this global movement and help ignite a beacon of hope in the Peruvian Amazon.

Make your early donation today and become an essential part of the change our Indigenous brothers and sisters urgently need. Your solidarity becomes nourishment, dignity, and a future.

In the remote highlands of Peru, hunger does not always shout. Sometimes it walks quietly—step by step—across mountains and dirt paths. This is the daily reality for many elders like Doña Rosa, a woman in her late seventies who lives alone in an isolated rural community. To find a warm meal, she must walk more than two hours under the sun or cold wind. Her story is not an exception; it is a reflection of a much deeper problem.

Across Peru, thousands of older adults in rural and Amazonian regions live with severe food insecurity, surviving without a stable income, nearby markets, or access to social programs. Many depend entirely on irregular harvests or on the kindness of neighbors who are also struggling. According to national data, a significant percentage of rural households face food scarcity at least once a week, and elders are the most affected.

This Giving Tuesday, AGAPE HAND is raising its voice for them through the Solidarity Baskets Program, a community-driven effort that provides nutritious food baskets to families and elders living in extreme poverty and isolation. These baskets include essentials such as oats, rice, oil, legumes, pasta, and other staples that ensure a family can eat with dignity for several days.

We do not portray vulnerability to provoke pity. Our mission is based on dignity, respect, and solidarity—values that remind us that every human being deserves access to food, care, and presence. When our team visits communities like Doña Rosa’s, we bring more than food: we bring connection, conversation, and a reminder that no one is forgotten.

Your participation in Giving Tuesday allows us to reach more isolated districts, more abandoned elders, and more families struggling with silent hunger. Together, we can strengthen a food bank model adapted to rural Peru—one that prioritizes community participation and long-term resilience.

This Giving Tuesday, transform gratitude into impact.
Let your generosity reach families who live far beyond the cities, where hunger remains unseen.
