Every year, around 120,000 young Peruvians join the ranks of those who are neither studying nor employed. There just isn't enough work, and many can't afford schooling.
But despite the obstacles that life puts before them, many youth in San Juan de Miraflores -- a poor neighbourhood of Lima, Peru -- are creating a better future for themselves and their families.
Three youth involved in an innovative Youth Employment Centre in San Juan agreed to tell their stories. The Centros de Jovenes y Empleo is a collaboration of CUSO-VSO, the Quebec NGO Carrefour Jeunesse Emploi de l'Outaouais, and the Peruvian NGO Kallpa.
