'Jackelinne's Story' follows a young woman in San Juan de Miraflores, a poor neighbourhood of Lima, Peru, as she works to create a better future for herself and her family.

A new youth employment centre is the result of a collaboration of CUSO-VSO, the Quebec NGO Carrefour Jeunesse Emploi de l'Outaouais, and the Peruvian NGO Kallpa. It is financed in part by the Canadian International Development Agency and the Quebec Ministry of International Relations.

Produced with the support of the Government of Canada through the Canadian International Development Agency.
