One+One Campaign Results





Coprodeli USA is proud to announce the wonderful results of our One+One Humanitarian Aid Campaign!

Together, we raised $12,500, every dollar of which was matched. That brings our grand total to $25,000 for Humanitarian Aid initiatives. We also filled the 40' container of donations at our most successful clothing drive ever!

We could not have done this without your help. On behalf of the people of Peru, thank you for your support!

Donate

An easy contribution, and a very valuable contribution—is financial.

  • Consider a one time, or automatic monthly donation.

  • Consider to make a general donation. Coprodeli is proud of the fact that over 90% of each donation sent to Peru, goes directly to operate our programs.

  • You can also donate every time you search or shop online—it’s simple. Just download the GoodSearch toolbar to your computer, and begin to donate today!

  • Are you a Federal employee? If so, you can donate through the Combined Federal Campaign. Our CFC # is: 66225.

    • Sponsor a Child

    A Padrino, Spanish for godparent or sponsor, is a person like you who makes a personal decision to invest in the individual and educational development of a child in need. More than 2 million children in Peru live in extreme poverty, without access to basic services like education, adequate shelter, running water, sanitation or food. Unable to afford the costs of education, many of these children are forced to work at an early age in menial street jobs. For about $1 a day ($400.00 annually), Padrinos enable a child to pursue their right to education in one of Coprodeli’s 9 schools or after-school outreach centers and open up a door of hope and opportunity.

    Celebración de Coprodeli

    • 2009 event was held at Latin Rhythms Dance Studio, in Chicago, featured Latin Dancing, music, Emilio's Tapas, auction, friends, and good times for all. Thanks to all participants, we raised $56,000 to support our work in Peru. See the pictures on our Facebook page!

    • Celebración de Coprodeli is our annual, and largest, Fall fundraising event. Each year Coprodeli volunteers, donors and friends gather to eat, drink, dance and raise funds to support Coprodeli’s programs in Peru. The focus of the proceeds varies from year to year to match the current, imminent needs of Coprodeli Peru.

    • Coprodeli’s 2008-2009 priority, in response to the devastating 7.9 earthquake that struck the Ica Region of Peru in August 2007, is rebuilding the most severely affected cities in the Region, including Chincha, Pisco, Canete and Ica, and bringing development to the area.

    • Join us in 2010, for another outstanding event, to raise funds for education projects, in Chicago and Washington, DC


    Coprodeli Bike Drive
    The Working Bikes Cooperative has partnered with Coprodeli USA to send almost 1,000 bikes to Peru where they have been put to good use in the Coprodeli schools, orphanages and daycare centers. The simple joy of learning to ride a bicycle can now be offered to the Coprodeli Kids - an opportunity they would otherwise not have. Thanks to Working Bikes, the Coprodeli Kids now enjoy such things as bicycle clubs and regular bike hikes which take them out of their poor neighborhoods. Coprodeli is planning a bicycle shop micro-enterprise with some of the donated bikes. Future bike donations will also be used to provide adults with personal transportation which often means the difference between keeping a job and unemployment. Sincerest thanks to Lee Ravenscroft and the Working Bikes volunteers and to all the Coprodeli volunteers who have help disassemble bikes and load them into shipping containers bound for Peru.

    2008 Clothing Drive
    Despite a torrential downpour an incredibly hard-working team of 75+ volunteers tackled towers of empty boxes and heaps of new and gently used donations to pack over 40,000 articles of clothing, house-wares, medical and school supplies, books, and toys for the 8th Annual Coprodeli Clothing Drive held in the parking lot of Old St. Patrick’s Church on Sunday, June 8th. Thanks to the collaboration of Coprodeli and OSP friends, the Near North Montessori School, Share Your Soles, Nike Town, One Step Ahead, Gigi’s Closette, and others, 570 boxes of humanitarian aid will be shipped to Peru and distributed through Coprodeli’s Social Outreach Centers.
