Touch of • reaching out: one life at a Love time

OUR HISTORY •

A.M.O.R. Projects has sponsored a medical team serving the populations of river villages throughout Peru’s Amazon Basin since 1999

THE PLAN…



With our experience of medical work in the river communities, we have clearly noted that the majority of health problems 



Are intimately associated to low levels of education and extreme poverty

Because of this, we have decided on the creation of an agro-industrial trade school 

With the end to increase economic and health levels in said communities
