The Chimbote Foundation’s Mission
The Chimbote Foundation was created to provide a bridge of love, hope, faith and financial support to care for the poorest of the poor in Chimbote through the Center for Social Works – a maternity hospital, outpatient clinic, clinical laboratory, pharmacy and home for abandoned and neglected children – serving hundreds of thousands since the mid-1960s.

Witnessing Jesus in Chimbote:
Calling all the Messengers
Highlighting both the enormous impact of those priests and nuns who have served the mission over the past fifty years, and the new volunteers who are participating in the Foundation’s inaugural week-long mission trips, the 2016 Chimbote Mission video calls all of us as messengers to bear witness to the love, faith and needs of the poor in Chimbote.
Annual Missions to Chimbote
Our missionaries are doing Christ’s work in this far away land, and through His grace, are providing hope for the poor of Peru while sustaining them body and soul, and renewing their sense of dignity.
