We began...

as a 501(c)3 charitable organization out of Syracuse, NY with a gospel-inspired mission to provide educational resources for children living in extreme poverty in Trujillo, Peru. Over the course of the last 19+ years, The People Project, with the simple credo of "People Helping People" has grown exponentially to touch the lives of more than 500,000 people Worldwide!

 

Thanks to your support, we have given away over 5,000,000 meals, helped build rehabilitation centers, community centers, schools, orphanages and churches;  provided more than 600 tons of humanitarian goods; built and managed soup kitchens; and helped to educate thousands! We currently have 7 schools in Kenya and one in Zambia where we feed and educate nearly 1,500 children daily. We also have two soup kitchens in Peru where we do food distribution for those in need!

​

BUT - it all started right here in New York! We have been able to impact thousands of lives here in Central New York and have various outreaches based out of Hope Cafe in Liverpool, NY. 

​

The People Project is just beginning, and we have HUGE plans for the immediate future in Syracuse, NY and beyond. Come visit us at our International coffeehouse HOPE CAFE to have an amazing meal and beverages which will help us with our work.
