Communities for Life was established to create sustainable communities by empowering people and removing barriers that will help create transformation.
A six-month course teaching participants about seeding, nurturing, and harvesting up to 23 vegetable crops in the arid and challenging conditions in Manchay.
Communities for Life has been involved in extensive research and planning to develop affordable housing. We completed our first model home in 2023.
We offer four trade training courses to construct a basic, low-cost home, including electrical, drywall and steel framing, melamine and carpentry, and plumbing.
In rain-scarce Manchay, fog catchers—large mesh nets—collect water droplets from fog, which are then stored in tanks for local use.

We are always looking for donations that would go towards the gardening, baking, and trades programs and the youth development program. Donations help aid in the hiring of teachers, local training, and equipment.
Come experience what the community looks like. Get out of your comfort zone. Be part of a cross-cultural experience. See what being ‘loved into the Kingdom’ is like. You don’t get it until you see it!
We aim to establish sustainable communities through programs that enhance the lives of Manchay, Peru.
