Empower the lives of 400 talented peruvian kids

Alain is a Champ in eighth grade and lives with the same passion he brings to a soccer field. Since the age of three, sports became an important part of his life, and over time that enthusiasm grew into a big dream: to become a professional soccer player.

His family has been one of his greatest sources of support. Every day they support him in his academic and personal growth, encouraging him to keep going and to never stop believing in himself. For them, education has always been a fundamental tool for building a better future.

However, the path was not always easy. His family went through financial hardships, and finding an alternative that would give him access to world-class education was a major challenge. Even so, they never stopped looking for opportunities that could drive Alain's talent and potential forward.

It was through the director of his sports club that they learned about Perú Champs. Alain decided to apply for an Perú Champs scholarship, and when they received the news that he had been selected, the joy was overwhelming for the entire family. That opportunity meant much more than a scholarship — it was the chance to keep growing both academically and in sports.

Today, Alain has been part of Perú Champs for two years and studies at Innova Schools, where he has strengthened skills that once challenged him, especially in areas like English and communication. He has also developed greater commitment, responsibility, and self-confidence — changes his family recognizes with pride.
Alain currently continues training at Club Sport Boys while advancing in his studies. For him, both goals go hand in hand, because he understands that discipline and hard work are essential for achieving his dreams.

Alain is deeply grateful for the support he has received. He knows that the opportunity he found in Perú Champs has allowed him to keep building his future without setting aside what he loves most. His story is a reflection of how talent, when it finds an opportunity, can grow and transform. It is also a reminder that behind every child with big dreams, there is a family that believes in them and a community ready to walk alongside them.

Zoe is currently in tenth grade and has a gaze that reflects determination. Her notebooks are filled with notes, but also with dreams. For her, studying is not just a school obligation, but the path to transforming her future.

Each day begins very early. Before going to school, she helps at home with some family responsibilities. Then she attends classes and makes the most of every minute: she asks questions, participates, and takes notes with dedication. She has a special interest in communication, history, and literature classes. She loves reading and writing because she feels that words have the power to open doors.

In the afternoons, she reviews what she has learned and works on her assignments even when fatigue begins to set in. While others get distracted, Zoe chooses to keep trying, because she knows that her effort today can change her tomorrow.

Her story has not been easy. Her family has faced economic difficulties that created moments of uncertainty about the continuity of her education. On more than one occasion, Zoe feared she might not be able to continue studying. However, her family always reminded her that education is an opportunity worth protecting.

Thanks to Perú Champs, Zoe received a scholarship that marked a turning point in her life. Today, she can study with greater peace of mind and focus on her academic performance. This opportunity also has a special meaning: her sister, who is also a Champ, received a scholarship as well. For Zoe, being able to move forward alongside her is an enormous source of motivation.

Zoe is deeply grateful for the support she has received. She understands that this scholarship represents trust in her potential and encourages her to give her very best.

She dreams of pursuing a degree in the humanities and, one day, having the opportunity to continue her studies abroad. She wants to experience other cultures, learn more, and return with the tools to help her family and her community.

Zoe does not study only for herself. She studies for her family, for her sister, and for those who have believed in her talent. Because when a young woman with dreams receives real support, she does not only transform her own life,  she also proves that opportunities, when combined with effort and perseverance, can change destinies.
