In March 2017 , All Hands and Hearts launched a relief programme in Peru in response to the widespread and devastating flooding which had affected much of the country since late 2016 . A programme was launched in the eastern area of Peru , in the district of Piura Province . Volunteers worked to remove mud and debris from homes and schools , some of which were found to be almost entirely filled with mud . In August 2017 , All Hands and Hearts began the next stage of the programme , to rebuild a number of schools , the first of which has since been completed . Further projects are continuing in Yapatera , including school builds , English lessons , community outreach programmes and schemes focused on empowering women in the local area . An estimated 2,000 students have been returned to education , with over 3,000 people impacted as a result of the programme
