Don Bosco Paper Enterprise was established during the summer of 2006 in the coastal city of Nuevo Chimbote, aims to provide work to people living in that area.

Nowadays, it ensures the work of a few dozen young people divided into two groups: those adults who work full time who can now support their families, and school-aged children who spend their free time in an environment away from the dangers of the street, while at the same time, contributing to their family’s income.
