About Asociacion Emergencia Ayacucho – AEA Miami
AEA was established in 1985 thanks to a monetary contribution by his Holiness Pope John Paul II who declared a state of emergency in Ayacucho when he saw the devastating effects of terrorism in the area, leaving behind many orphan children. His donation enabled the Archbishop of Ayacucho to build refuge homes for orphaned children. AEA’s mission is to provide assistance with housing and education for children in three orphanages and young adults in two youth homes operated by the Archdiocese of Ayacucho. AEA also provides numerous programs that support children that are victims of violence and abandonment. Now recognized for its dedicated volunteer work, AEA fulfills its mission through fundraising events and donations.
