Critical Venezuelan Exodus

The Venezuelan migrant crisis is a major humanitarian issue, with millions fleeing economic collapse and instability. The global Venezuelan diaspora now surpasses Syria and Ukraine combined. Peru, hosting over a million migrants, faces strains on social services, healthcare, and job markets, leaving migrants vulnerable to homelessness, unemployment, and discrimination—highlighting the need for sustainable integration.

Urgency and Uncertainty

Peru is facing significant challenges in supporting its growing Venezuelan migrant population:

The Migrant Crisis in Peru

Strain on Public Resources

The influx of migrants is overburdening social services like healthcare and housing, leaving local governments struggling to meet needs.

Unemployment and Economic Displacement

Limited job opportunities and high unemployment have increased competition, creating friction between local workers and migrants.

Homelessness and Crime

A lack of housing and jobs has led to homelessness and, in some cases, crime, leaving many migrants in vulnerable situations.

Social Integration

Discrimination makes it difficult for migrants to integrate, straining community cohesion and affecting public sentiment.

Amamericana’s goal is to establish a structured and transparent system that provides critical support to Venezuelan migrants in Peru, offering them the tools they need to rebuild their lives and integrate into society. Our program includes:

How we help

Housing

We provide safe, affordable housing for migrants, addressing immediate shelter needs and reducing homelessness. Through local partnerships, we secure both temporary and long-term housing solutions, helping families transition into Peruvian society.

Healthcare

We connect migrants with essential healthcare services, including check-ups, vaccinations, mental health support, and care for chronic conditions, ensuring their health and well-being as they integrate into the community.

Training for employment

Our job training programs focus on skill development, language courses, and vocational training, empowering migrants to secure stable employment and economic independence, benefiting both them and local communities.

Community Integration

Amamericana promotes social cohesion by helping migrants connect with local organizations and hosting cultural exchange programs, community events, and mentorship opportunities to foster understanding, reduce discrimination, and strengthen unity.
