Our Objectives
The objective of AMOR Projects is to improve the health and well-being of Peru’s population, with a special focus on those living in extreme poverty.
We prioritize the physical and spiritual health of Peruvian villagers who face limited access to care. Our goal is to alleviate illness and suffering through free medical and dental services, health education, and compassionate outreach—bringing hope and healing to those in greatest need.
Our Mission Statement
» To walk alongside our brothers and sisters in eastern Peru, sharing in life and community.
» To show genuine sympathy, love, and compassion as we minister to their medical, dental, educational, and spiritual needs—building bonds of trust and lasting friendship.
» To provide a place where students and missionaries can join together in a life-changing journey of hands-on service that inspires personal growth, strengthens faith, and deepens relationships with our Creator.

Location
Pucallpa
» Pucallpa is in the Amazonian rain forest of eastern Peru, located on the banks of the Ucayali River, a major tributary of the Amazon River. The best way to get to Pucallpa is to fly. You can take a one hour flight on one of Peru’s national airlines – Star Peru or LAN.
» Pucallpa boasts very little tourism although there are various native villages and places of interest nearby. Many shanty towns have sprung up in and around the city, and countless motokars (a motorcycle with a small buggy attached) and taxis make the roadways buzz with activity.
“Km8”
» The site know as “Km8” is 8 kilometers from the city of Pucallpa. At this site, most of the medical outreach is accomplished. AMOR Projects has a clinic at this location. The clinic can handle many facets of medicine; dental, medical, eye care, and contains a pharmacy. AMOR Project staff and student missionaries are located at Km8.
