Iles de Paix Luxembourg (Peru)

Iles de Paix Luxembourg is an NGO that has been active in Luxembourg since 1955, accredited by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. In Africa and Latin America, the association's mission is to train and support disadvantaged rural populations in order to improve their food security and quality of life in a sustainable and autonomous way.

Training is one of Iles de Paix Luxembourg’s major axes of intervention, influencing beneficiaries’ ability to take their destiny in their own hands and take charge of their development in the long run. The association is also focusing on revenue-generating activities for women through the transformation of agricultural production, allowing other needs to be supported, such as school expenses, healthcare expenses, etc.
