Prisma is a Peruvian NGO that designs and implements innovative research studies and projects to enhance the capabilities of, and improve access to opportunities for, vulnerable people, contributing towards the attainment of a more inclusive society and of sustainable development. Prisma began its work in 1986 with a multidisciplinary group of professionals intent on reversing Peru’s high rates of chronic child malnutrition and the associated risk factors. Over 30 years of experience and innovations with a comprehensive approach to development have expanded Prisma’s scope to eight areas of action and paved the way for international expansion into Latin America and Africa. We work in partnership with the central government, regional and local governments, international aid organizations, academic institutions, civil society, organized community and relevant, interested, private businesses.
Prisma is registered in the Peruvian Agency for International Cooperation (APCI) according to Executive Secretary Resolution No. 138-99/PCM-SECTI and is enrolled in File No. 7338 in the Registry of Associations of the Registry of Legal Entities of the Public Registries of Lima. It began operating on April 23rd, 1986.

We have helped more than 3.5 million people throughout Peru.
Prisma contributes to improving the quality of public services for citizens and generates validated evidence for public policies in order to meet the needs of different populations and improve the quality of life for families. Our differencial value lies in our proximity to, and knowledge of, the realities of marginal rural and urban life in Peru, as well as in our working together with public and private organizations in the regions. This, with the involvement of the community, is what allows our team of professionals to plan and implement efficient projects that respond to in-depth analysis of the population’s needs. Prisma+ since 1998, we have become a strategic ally to value-added businesses, developing strategies and custom projects that respond to real needs, optimizing resources, and encouraging the involvement of local participants. Our value proposition for the businesses generates trust with the community and solidifies a good reputation that strengthens their brand by achieving a high level of effectiveness in the funded project.
