Scholarship Program
Our Program
In February of 2026 we celebrated the 16th year of our scholarship program for burned children. This program is designed to encourage children in primary and secondary school to enjoy school and succeed to the best of their ability, so that their focus changes away from what they cannot change – their scars – to what they can change – their prospects that come from success in school.. In 2026, CAFA accepted three new students into the program. Two of the students are featured below.
CAFA also funds school supplies for CAFA transport students who are in elementary and secondary school. It was a happy occasion for the 76 young students when they came to ANIQUEM to pick up their bag of materials.
Anyeli was at a relative's house, playing with other children. They were handling alcohol and matches, spilling the alcohol on the floor. The bottle accidentally fell, causing the fire to flare up and reach the child, igniting her clothing and causing burns to her neck, chest, and left shoulder, she was 12 years old.

Anyeli is currently 17 years old and is studying International Business Administration thanks to the CAFA scholarship.

In March 2028, Nathali will finish her Marketing studies at the Cibertec Institute in Lima thanks to the scholarship awarded by CAFA.
She was 5 years old when her accident happened in 2013, she entered in a room where her aunt had placed a kettle of hot water on the floor. The child, unaware of the kettle's presence, began to dance, tripped, and fell to the floor, causing the kettle to tip over and burn her lower limbs and feet.
