Building Safer Learning Environments in Ucayali

In the jungle region of Ucayali, Kids Alive Peru formalised a cooperation agreement with the Local Education Management Unit of Coronel Portillo – Ucayali (UGEL), reinforcing joint efforts to prevent violence and strengthen protection within public schools.

Through this partnership, teachers and school leaders in the area will be trained in the “Playing We Grow Stronger” methodology. This participatory approach equips educators to lead interactive workshops that build self-protection skills, promote healthy relationships, and support the early identification of risk situations related to sexual violence.

By working alongside public education authorities, this initiative strengthens local capacity and helps create safer, more resilient learning environments, where educators become key agents of change and students are supported to grow and thrive free from harm.

A Shared Commitment to Prevention and Restoration

With the support of Kids Alive International, Kids Alive Peru continues to advance sustainable, prevention-centred solutions that reflect a shared commitment to justice. These partnerships demonstrate the impact that is possible when communities, institutions, and public systems work together to protect children and build a safer future.
