Latin American Foundation for the Future (LAFF) is a UK registered charity which works with partner organisations in Peru to help disadvantaged children and young people to build themselves a better future. To do this, LAFF enables marginalised young people to access educational opportunities and vocational training, as well as supporting young people’s organisations to succeed through income-generation, cost reduction initiatives and capacity building for staff. LAFF believes in creating independence, not dependence and this is crucial in our approach to both children and young people, and the organisations which directly support them.
