About the Project
The Ronald McDonalds House works to provide a safe environment for children and adolescents and their families from rural areas who come to Lima to receive medical treatments (such as oncology cases, heart conditions, or complex illnesses).
It provides a home for those who have no place to stay while receiving treatment. Here, children and their companions can rest, have access to meals, and participate in workshops in a safe and welcoming environment.
