Welcome to Bemelsa!
29 years ago Señor Jose Hernandez sensed a need in Grocio Prado to provide food and a safe place for the children who were in need. As many Peruvians do, Señor Hernandez wanted to give thanks to Melchorita Saravia. The Hernandez family began, with a staff of volunteers, to provide the much needed food for the children and the Monks that served in the Parroquia San Pedro de Grocio Prado church. The Comedor previously was housed in an additional area of the church. Several years ago the Hernandez family built a new building for the Comedor and now we have this beautiful building dedicated to the memory of Melchorita Saravia who worked tirelessly to feed and comfort Chinchana's in need. As we open our doors for more and more programs, we are seeing more and more need in the community. Creating programs and activities that help children build self esteem and self-worth are our primary goals, right along with safety and nourishment.
