St. Joseph’s Peruvian Endowment
For the past 25 years Father Joseph Uhen and his mission staff, through the St. Joseph’s Peruvian Mission, have been working to address the acute needs and long-term development of the poor in Piura, Peru.
Through their hard work and with the aid of visiting missionaries and generous donors, the mission funds programs that provide housing, nutrition, medical care, education, loans, legal aid, farming aid, and more. There has been much good work done through the people who believe in God, trust in God and want to help the poor, but the continued need in Piura is great.
