Welcome to the Anita Goulden Trust website. We are a UK based charity that financially supports (fully) the Anita Goulden Home for disabled children and young adults who have been abandoned, abused and orphaned.
The Anita Goulden Home is based in Piura, Peru and provides full care for about 20 young people, many of whom have severe physical and mental disabilities and were found to be living in extreme poverty.
The Anita Goulden Trust is the only charity which helps children with disabilities in the North of Peru.
The Chilalo bird sings
This collection of memories, both from Anita herself and those who knew her, makes fascinating and 
at times humbling reading, in particular those from the children to whom she became Anita Mama.

Only £11.00 (including postage and packing) with all proceeds in aid of The Anita Goulden Trust.
