La Misión
La misión de El Hogar "San Pedro" es cuidar de las necesidades basicas de niñas huerfanas, brindandoles alimentación, vestido, atención en salud y educacion integral para preparar a ciudadanas capaces de construir una familia y una sociedad libre, pacifica, unificada, justa y solidaria. El centro acoge a niñas huerfanas provenientes de las familias mas pobres del Cusco y sus alrededores. Las religiosas Mercedarias misioneras son como madres para estas niñas y las cuidan y acompañan con amor y responsabilidad desde sus primeros años de infancia hasta que logren valerse por sí mismas.
Una de las contribuciones mas significativas es su presencia y compromiso de adultas en el desarrollo personal de las niñas. Con el apoyo del personal laico constituye la referencia adulta para sus vidas. Ellas comparten su alimento, sus momentos de recreación, sus actividades domesticas. Sirviendo les como guías espirituales, dan a estas niñas el significado del amor, trabajo, honestidad y honor.
Las niñas que llegan al orfanato, carecen de apoyo familiar, su situacion crítica es certificada por las autoridades del lugar de su procedencia.

The Mission
The mission el El Hogar "San Pedro" is to take care of the basic needs of orphan girls, providing them with food, clothing, health care, and education. We also prepare them to become good citizens capable of building a family and a free, peaceful, unified and just society. Located in Cusco, Peru, El Hogar "San Pedro" (St. Peter's Orphanage) is an orphanage for girls from the poorest families in Cusco and surrounding towns. The Our Lady of Mercy Sisters (not related to the American order) serve as mothers for these girls and take care of them with love and responsibility in childhood and through their transition into adulthood.
Girls living in the orphanage have lost both parents or were abandoned by their families. In addition to seeing to their basic needs, like nutrition, clothing and health care, El Hogar "San Pedro" focuses on the girls' comprehensive development.
One of the most significant contributions of the Mercedarian Sisters is their adult presence and commitment to the girls' personal development. They are the only adults in the lives of these girls who have suffered such loss. By sharing meals, listening to details of their daily lives, giving lots of affection, teaching domestic chores, disciplining within freedom, and serving as spiritual guides, the Sisters give the girls an understanding of love, work, honesty and honor.
