Our Vision...
A world where all children and young people have a sense of belonging, are loved, and are valued.
Our Mission
To provide orphan or abandoned children shelter and proper education to enable them to become upstanding citizens.
For more than 30 years
In 1985, Saint John Paul II visited Ayacucho, located in the highlands of South-Central Peru. The Pope left a donation of $50,000 for the orphans of war; with these funds, the orphanage homes “John Paul II” were created under the supervision of the Archbishop of Ayacucho Monsignor Richter Pranda and Mrs. Anabela Jordan, wife of the Ambassador of USA in Peru, who also served as the first President of AEA Lima.
AEA, a non profit association, was founded in November 29th 1985 in response to the growing number of orphaned children that survived terrorist attacks in Ayacucho during Peru’s most tumultuous years. Two years later, in 1987, the Miami Chapter of Asociación Emergencia Ayacucho (AEA) was created in the city of Miami, Florida under the leadership of Mrs. Dora de las Casas.
