2022 / 2023

Venturosa Bajo, district of Supe, province of Barranca in the Purmacana Valley at 105 m altitude on the Pacific coast. Venturosa Bajo is a 4.5 hour drive from Lima and 35 minutes from Barranca.
This village has 300 inhabitants (54 families). There is a primary school and a community room. The peasants are day laborers and some live from small-scale agriculture and sell their products in the markets of Barranca and Supe. The village has electricity and access to cell phones.
Currently, people are drinking non-potable water from a shallow well that is used to irrigate fields. The planned project consists of digging a new well about 15 meters deep and building a 15 m3 high reservoir. From this reservoir, the water will be conveyed by gravity to the 56 houses and premises of the village. To transport water from the well to the reservoir, a solar-powered pumping system will be installed. Each house will have its cement sink.

Uchuraccay Pata, province of Huanta, Ayacucho. This village is located four hours drive north of Huamanga and at an altitude of 3,873 m. The project concerns a village in formation. About twenty families have already settled (175 inhabitants). These families live from agriculture. People have access to cell phones in some places but do not yet have electricity.
People are currently consuming surface water. To bring drinking water to this village, water from a source located upstream at an altitude of 4,072 m will be captured. A 3.5 km long water pipe will be built from the catchment structure to the 10 m3 reservoir built on the highest part of the village. The distribution network will deliver water by gravity from the reservoir to the houses and the 3 future premises. A cement sink will also be built for each family (Fall 2021 Newsletter and Spring 2022 Newsletter).

2021 / 2022

Santa Luz de Maranquiari , Raymondi district, Atalaya province, Peruvian Amazon. The village is located about two hours by boat from Atalaya and a 45-minute walk from the banks of the Ucayali River. The journey from Lima to the town of Santa Luz takes approximately 23 hours.
This village has 190 inhabitants (38 families) of several ethnic groups, in particular Ashéninka and Asháninka. There is a kindergarten, a primary school and a community room. These natives live from fishing, hunting and small-scale agriculture.
Currently, people draw their water from a small stream. When it is dry, they must use river water or stagnant water from the surrounding area. To provide access to drinking water to this community, an artisanal well will be dug, an elevated reservoir from which the water will be conveyed by gravity to all the houses and premises of the village will be built. To bring water from the well to the reservoir, a solar-powered pumping system will be installed. Also, each house will have a cement sink (Spring 2021 Newsletter, Fall 2021 Newsletter and Mission to Peru 2022).

Shenontiari, district of Raymundi, province of Atalaya. The natives consume surface and river water, which is highly contaminated. The village has no infrastructure for access to drinking water. The water will be led by gravity from the catchment to a cistern and then will be pumped by solar energy from the cistern to the 20 m3 high reservoir built at the entrance of the village. From this reservoir, the water will be conveyed by gravity to the 37 houses and premises of the village. A cement sink will be built for each family. Currently, the community is working very hard to move this project forward (Fall 2020 Newsletter, Mission in Peru 2022).

Colpapampa, district and province from Vilcashuaman, Ayacucho, Peru. This village is located four hours drive from Huamanga and is at an altitude of 3,739 m. This village has 435 inhabitants (177 families) who live mainly from agriculture. There are kindergarten, primary and secondary schools, a community kitchen, a council room, a health post, a community lounge and a church. There is electricity and cell phone.
About ten years ago, the Municipality installed a drinking water system that supplies water only to the 120 families in the central part of the village. But, in times of drought, water is rationed. Also, the 57 families located in the upper part of the village have no access to drinking water.
To solve this problem, three sources from where the water will be collected have been identified. A 90 m3 cistern and a 300 m long pipeline will be installed. Also, an 80 m3 high reservoir will be built and a solar-powered pumping system will be installed. The elevated reservoir will distribute water by gravity to the 57 houses. During periods of drought, part of the water will be channeled to the central part of the village. Families already have a cement sink. Some will be renovated (Fall 2021 Newsletter and Spring 2022 Newsletter).

Huaroccopampa, district and province of Vilcashuaman, Ayacucho. This village is located four hours drive from Huamanga and is at an altitude of 3,790 m. This village currently has 150 inhabitants (37 families) who live mainly from agriculture. People have access to cell phones and will soon have electricity. In this village, there is a kindergarten, a primary school and a community hall.
It is a village in formation. People come from the nearby small village of San Felipe de Huayllan where water facilities are inadequate. People are currently drinking surface water or fetching it from a source 30 minutes walk away.
To carry out this project, water will be collected from four sources. A 20 m3 cistern, a 160 m long water pipe and an 18 m3 high reservoir will be constructed. A solar powered pumping system will be installed. The so-called impulsión pipe from the cistern to the reservoir will be 890 m long. A distribution network will deliver water by gravity to the 37 houses and 3 premises. Each family will have a cement sink (Mission in Peru 2022).

Limán, district of Supe, in the province of Barranca. Limán is a 4.5 hour drive north of Lima and 35 minutes from Barranca. This village has 850 inhabitants (160 families) who work as day laborers and live from small-scale agriculture. There is electricity, cellular telephony, a primary school which also welcomes students from neighboring villages, a health post, a kindergarten, two churches, Catholic and evangelical, a community room and two homes.
In 2004-2005, Les Ailes de l’Espérance supported this community in the construction of a rather simple drinking water system: the collection of a single source and the installation of a direct water pipe from the source to the village. The houses of the then 25 families had been connected directly to the water main. Today, the village has about 160 families and the water has become clearly insufficient. Since 2006, the community and the water committee have responsible management of the existing system, which motivates us to support them again. To do this, the structure of the current catchment structure will be enlarged and reinforced. The water will be conveyed by gravity from the catchment structure to the cistern that will be built. It will then be pumped by solar energy from the cistern to the 75 m3 high reservoir built on a mound away from the archaeological area. Then the water will reach the 167 houses and premises of the village by gravity. A cement sink will be built for each family (Fall 2021 Bulletin and Spring 2022 Newsletter).

2020 / 2021

Ázángaro, Luricocha district, Huanta province, Ayacucho. This village is located two hours by road from Huamanga and at an altitude of 2,326 m. The village did not have a drinking water supply system. Therefore, the people drew water from irrigation canals. When the drinking water project was carried out in Iribamba, the neighboring village, the people came to talk with Alas de Esperanza staff and showed great interest in wanting to carry out their own water project. Between July 2020 and June 2021, the community of Azangaro worked hard by providing labor to clear the site, dig the trenches, and transport the materials. The technical team built the spring catchment structure 3.1 km from the village, installed the water main, and constructed a 20 m3 reservoir at the entrance to the village (Fall 2020 Newsletter). From this reservoir, a distribution system was built to deliver water by gravity to the 85 houses and premises in the village. A cement sink was built for each family. This project was inaugurated in August 2021.

Villa los Ángeles, Supe district, Barranca province. In 2012, when the village had only about 30 families, the Municipality of Supe built a water supply system that had become insufficient due to the increase in population. In addition, the technically inadequate pumping system was inoperative (Spring 2020 Newsletter).
In March and April 2017, the El Niño phenomenon caused severe flooding in the valley. The houses were not affected because the village is located on the side of the mountain. However, the avalanches of water and mud washed away much of the road, the irrigation canal, and the water main. Everything has since been repaired.
The catchment work, the main line, the cistern and the reservoir have been repaired. A new impulse line was built from the cistern to the reservoir. A solar powered pumping system was installed. Finally, the distribution network now delivers water by gravity from the tank to the 160 houses and premises in the village. A cement sink was built for each family. This project was inaugurated in 2021 (Fall 2020 Newsletter).

La Ramada, Llamas district, Chota province, Cajamarca department. In 1994-1995, The Father Menard Foundation (of which I was then the executive director) and the Club 2/3 funded the La Ramada drinking water project with community participation. Engineer Mercedes Torres had led the project. The village had 120 houses at that time. The 11m deep artisanal well provided enough water for about 15 years. However, since 2010, the yield of the well has been decreasing year after year. As a result, people were only receiving a minimal amount of water every two or three days.
Together with the community, we looked for alternatives to supply the population with sufficient and constant water. According to the study carried out by engineer Mercedes Torres, the best alternative was to dig an artesian well with a solar pumping system. Deepening the existing well was not an option because of the huge rock at the bottom.
The community agreed to purchase a parcel of land in one of four locations identified by Mercedes Torres to drill the new well. Electrical soundings were taken to ensure that there was water in the ground.
Once the well was dug, water was delivered to the existing 80 m3 tank through the existing water line. However, a new 280 m pipeline was installed from the well to the central village square.
The project took place over two years.
Phase I: electrical soundings, drilling the well 30-50 meters deep; installing the solar panels and pump, connecting the well to the existing impulse line and renovating the 80 m3 tank (Spring 2020 Newsletter).
Phase II: construction of a new 10+ m3 reservoir to supply water to the portion of the village upstream of the main reservoir; expansion of the distribution network and installation of house connections + the construction of sinks as appropriate. This project was inaugurated in August 2021.

Nuevo Progreso, Raymundi District, Atalaya Province. The village is located on an island in the river about three hours by boat from Atalaya. The indigenous people consume surface and river water, which is highly contaminated. The village had no infrastructure for access to drinking water. Between July 2020 and June 2021, a 12-15 meter deep well was dug, a solar-powered pumping system was installed, and a 5 m3 high tank was built a few meters from the well (Fall 2020 Newsletter). From this tank, water is delivered by gravity to the 30 houses and premises in the village. A cement sink was built for each family. This project was inaugurated in August 2021.

Rayme Alto, Carhuanca district, Vilcashuaman province, Ayacucho. This village, at 3,225 m above sea level, is a five-hour drive from Huamanga. It has 60 families (230 inhabitants). These families live from agriculture. In this village, a drinking water system was installed in 1994 by the Municipality but never worked. The people used to consume non-drinking surface water. There is electricity and limited access to cell phones. The elementary school serves the children of the village.
The project in this village in 2020-2021 was to build a water catchment structure from a spring 0.5 km from the village, as well as a 40 m3 tank and a 360 m long pipeline. A 30 m3 high tank was also built at the end of the village and a solar-powered pumping system was installed. From this tank, a distribution system delivers water by gravity to all 63 houses and premises in the village (Spring 2021 Newsletter). A cement sink was built for each family to the delight of the mothers.
This project will improve the health and hygiene of the population and contribute to the fight against the pandemic by facilitating hand washing. It makes the life of these farmers easier, especially that of the women who have to take care, among other things, of bringing water for the family. Access to clean water allows everyone to live in dignity. This project was inaugurated in August 2021.

Peñico, district and province of Huaura in the Supe River watershed. At an altitude of 592 m on the Pacific coast. Peñico is 5 hours drive from Lima and 45 minutes from Barranca. This village has 49 families (275 inhabitants) and has an elementary school with about 15 students and a kindergarten with about 12 students. There is also a community center and a health post. The farmers live from small-scale agriculture and sell their products in the markets of Barranca, Huacho and Supe. There was no access to drinking water. Therefore, the people consumed water from the irrigation canal. In this village, there is electricity and cell phone service.
To provide access to drinking water, a submerged catchment structure and a 15 m3 reservoir were built, as well as the water pipe between the two. The installation of the distribution network followed and a cement sink was built for each family. This system works by gravity. The villagers successfully completed this project in the midst of a pandemic.
Thanks to the clean water, the health and hygiene of the entire population has greatly improved. The inauguration took place on July 17, 2021.
 

2019 / 2020

Cajamarca, Simbal district, Trujillo province. Cajamarca’s drinking water system was heavily damaged during the floods of 2017. The community assisted by the municipality managed to get the system up and running again, but it was in a precarious state. In addition, the pumping system was inadequate since families received only a small amount of water every two or three days.

In 2020, the Water Mission organization with an office in Northern Peru carried out a project to improve the situation. Water was collected from a spring located 20 km from Simbal and supplies several villages with drinking water. The cistern was rehabilitated as well as the two reservoirs, the adjoining pipes and the distribution network. A solar-powered pumping system has been installed as well as water meters and a water chlorination and purification system (LWTS).

Nuevo Huaralica, in the district of Supe, province of Barranca, in the Purmacana valley. Nuevo Huaralica is 105 m above sea level on the Pacific coast. In March and April 2017, the El Niño phenomenon caused severe flooding in this valley of the Supe river. The village and houses were not affected, however, the avalanches of water and mud washed away part of the irrigation canal from which people drew water, contaminated by pesticides, for consumption. Since then, this canal has been repaired and people have started to draw water from it. In the proposed project, the water will be conveyed by gravity from the catchment to a tank. It will be pumped by solar energy from the tank to the 20 m3 high tank built at the entrance to the village. From this reservoir, water will be conveyed by gravity to 62 houses and premises in the village. A cement sink will be built for each family.

2018 / 2019

Antapite, in the district of Concepción, province of Vilcas Huaman, in the department of Ayacucho, in the Andes. This village is located at 3600 m altitude (Mission to Peru 2018). This rural community has 51 families and lives on a small agriculture and the breeding of cows, chickens and guinea pigs. Only one part of the village received a little water thanks to a drinking water supply system built over 20 years ago and which quickly fell into disuse. Today, we have installed two gravity potable water systems and each family has its cement sink where the water comes from. This project was launched in August 2019.

Centro Shinipo, Raymundi district, Atalaya province, Amazon. This village is located by the Ucayali river about 3 hours by boat from Atalaya. Thirty families live from fishing, farming, hunting and growing cocoa. People consumed water from the river which caused them serious health problems. A gravity drinking water supply system is now installed. Water arrives in each house and in the 4 public rooms. This project was launched in August 2019.

Rio Seco, Supe district, Barranca province 200 km from Lima (Spring 2018 Newsletter). Following the floods in March 2017, the village and the existing water system were destroyed. The population therefore decided to relocate the village. We will therefore install a drinking water system in this community of 400 people and in the 5 public premises (Mission to Peru 2018). In January 2018, together with the Municipality, we installed a 3 km long water pipe which conveyed water from a neighboring village to the entrance to this new village. The population therefore had a temporary reliable water point. The project consisted of capturing another source, building a reservoir, installing the distribution network and residential connections. Finally, a cement sink was built for each family. This project was launched in August 2019.

Shirintiari, district of Rio Tambo, province of Satipo, Amazonia. This indigenous community is made up of 600 people who make their living from fishing, hunting, farming and cocoa, among others. The project we installed in 2006 is working very well. However, the population of this village continues to increase. In 2019, we expanded the distribution network, installed a solar energy pump and built a cement sink for each family. The whole community now has access to drinkable water. This project was launched in August 2019.

Canuja, Raymundi district, Atalaya province, in the middle of the Amazon jungle. The indigenous population consumed water from the river, which caused serious health problems. The drinking water project carried out is by gravity since there are hills and springs in height (Mission to Peru 2018). As in all projects, local people provided local labor to dig trenches, transport materials and clean up the land. This achievement has improved the lives of 300 people in this village. This project was launched in August 2019.

Santo Domingo, Supe district, Barranca province about 4 hours drive from Lima. This village has 531 inhabitants who make a living from small farming and animal husbandry. The floods in March 2017 completely devastated the village and the crops and washed away the main water pipe of the system we had installed in 2005. The population therefore decided to relocate the village on higher ground near the mountain . In late 2017 and early 2018, with the help of organizations, donors and the local municipality, we carried out emergency repairs to restore the distribution network in part of the village. A tanker truck was distributing water to the other villagers. A reservoir was built and installed at the entrance to the new village to bring water to it. The project carried out this year was to build a reservoir and install a distribution network in the relocated village. People actively participated in the realization of the project and are very happy today to have access to drinking water (Spring 2017 Newsletter). This project was inaugurated in August 2019.

Yanashi, Loreto department (Rio Amazonas) in the middle of the jungle. The drinking water project was launched in February 2017 and is working very well. Ursuline Nuns asked us to add to this system. So we installed a 2 km long pipe from the existing water tank to the college in order to have running water (Spring 2017 Newsletter). This project was inaugurated in August 2019.

Family Gardens, province of Vilcashuamán, in the villages of San José de Tia, Parcco, Pujas and Rurunmarca. Over the past 5 years, we have funded sprinkler irrigation projects in these villages. The agronomist Sylvestre Quispe recommended pushing further the training given to the population in order to use the installed irrigation systems to the maximum of their capacity. Different themes were discussed. A drip pilot project is installed in Pujas (Spring 2018 Newsletter). This project was inaugurated in August 2019.

– Reforestation: during 2019-2020, we will continue the tree planting program in the source sector of the various drinking water projects. This project was launched in August 2019.

2017 / 2018

Waripercca, in Vinchos district, Huamanga province, in the Andes. This village is located in the Cachi River watershed. This project will be carried out in two phases, drinking water and sanitation (ecological dry toilets) in partnership with the SIE (International Water Secretariat) of Montreal and SER (Servicios Educativos Rurales) of Peru (Newsletter Fall 2016). Phase 1, access to drinkable water, is complete. This part of the project was inaugurated on April 23, 2018 (Blog article). Two captures have been built and the distribution network is installed. Water is now coming into every house. The sanitation is planned during the year 2018/2019. Sixty-nine ecological dry toilets will be built in partnership with SIE and Agua-C to improve the health and living conditions of the population (Newsletter Spring 2018).

Iribamba, Luricocha district, Huanta province, Ayacucho: installation of a drinking water supply system for this rural community of 390 inhabitants. People were consuming water from the only irrigation channel available. This water is very contaminated because this channel collects wastewater from the city of Huanta and a slaughterhouse nearby. The health consequences are disastrous. To carry out this project, the water was captured 4 km from the village and conveyed by gravity. A tank was built with a water chlorination system. The water is now coming into every house, which has its own concrete sink. This project was inaugurated on 5 August 2018 (Mission Report 2018).

Antallaqta, Paras district, Cangallo province, Ayacucho. This village includes 2 sectors separated by a ravine. Sixty-three families live there from farming and raising cattle and small animals. These peasants, forgotten by their different governments, consumed the water of an irrigation canal. A drinking water supply system was built in each sector: two catchments, water pipes, reservoirs, distribution network and cement basins for each family. Drinking water is now flowing in abundance. This project was inaugurated on 9 August 2018 (Mission Report 2018).

Huancapuquio, Rural community in the province of Vilcas Huamán: provide more drinking water to this growing community. The water was collected from a source at the bottom of the village and pumped by solar energy to the existing reservoir. We recall that we had installed a drinking water system in 2014 but that the flow of water had decreased rapidly. Two operators have been trained to maintain the system. It is the first solar pumping system we install in the Andes. This project was inaugurated on 6 August 2018 (Mission Report 2018).

Rurunmarca, District of Saurama, province of Vilcas Huamán (Blog article). The sprinkler irrigation project was carried out during the year. This village is 3500 m above sea level and about 3 hours 30 drive from Ayacucho. This project involves 72 peasant families who practice survival agriculture and small animal husbandry. Until now, agricultural production was limited to the short rainy season (Newsletter Spring 2018). To carry out the project, we built a water catchment, a reservoir and installed the distribution network. Farmers have also been trained to learn how to make optimal use of the new irrigation system (22.5 hectares). The objective of this project is to promote the economic development of the region by improving agricultural production and raising the standard of living of the population. This project was inaugurated on 9 August 2018 (Mission Report 2018).

Lagarto Millar, Raymundi district, Atalaya province. This village is located on the right bank of the Ucayali River about 50 minutes walk from the shore. About thirty families live from fishing, agriculture, hunting and cocoa farming. Despite 3 projects carried out by the municipality, the community still does not have access to drinking water (Mission Report 2017). Two springs were collected at the bottom of the village, a cistern was built, the impulse piping was installed to the high reservoir from where the water is distributed by gravity to community houses and premises. The water is pumped by solar energy. Every family has a concrete sink. The health status of the population has improved and the lives of Aboriginal women are being facilitated by the arrival of clean drinking water in homes. This project was inaugurated on 20 August 2018 (Mission Report 2018).

Santa Clotilde, Napo district, Maynas province, Loreto, in the middle of the Amazon jungle. This village is located on the banks of the Napo River, which empties into the Amazon. The first step of the project is to install a water purification system in the hospital of forty beds and its outbuildings. Indeed, the lack of drinking water complicates the work of the nursing staff. This hospital was founded by 2 priests who are also doctors to meet the needs of the indigenous population of the region. Water Mission of Iquitos will carry out this project which we will finance 75% (Newsletter Spring 2017). On 14 June 2018, the inauguration of the drinking water system for the schools and the Santa Clotilde Hospital took place. Former Wings of Hope pilot Bruce Edwards and his wife Dr. Elisa Mori Torres represented our organization on this occasion. (Blog article).

Family Garden, Vilcashuamán : Agronomist Sylvestre Quispe leads these projects, which consist of the installation of a sprinkler irrigation system. This type of project is unique in the region. To date, Sylvestre has installed this system in the villages of San José de Tia, Parcco (Newsletter Fall 2015 and Rission Report 2015, 13 August), Pujas and Rurunmarca (Newsletter Spring 2018). The farmers participated in the realization of the projects with enthusiasm. These irrigation projects are aimed at ensuring food security for families and the sale of surplus crops generates income. Several training sessions are given to the communities so that they acquire the autonomy necessary for the good management of these gardens (Newsletter Fall 2016).

2016/2017

Yanashi, in the department of Loreto, Amazonia. The exceptional floods of recent years have severely damaged the drinking water system that we built in 2004 at the request of the Quebec Ursulines present in this community for more than 50 years. The drinking water system has been rehabilitated, a solar-powered pumping system has been installed and members of the new committee have been trained to properly maintain this system. The project was carried out with the collaboration of theWater Missionpresent in the region. The journey from Iquitos to Yanashi on the great Amazon River lasts 4 to 18 hours depending on the chosen boat! This project was inaugurated in February 2017 (Spring 2017 Newsletter).

Manzanayoc, this village is located in the district of Concepcion, province of Vilcashuamán in the Andes. The population of 51 families (255 inhabitants) lives in extreme poverty and practices subsistence farming. In this project, 3 sources were collected to install a drinking water supply system in the 3 sectors of this village. Water comes by gravity to each house and school. A cement sink was built for each house and public space (Spring 2016 Newsletter). This project was inaugurated on June 25, 2017 (Mission Report 2017).

Unini, Atalaya Province , Ucayali: drinking water project for the 3 communities, Diamante Azul, Cascada Unini and José Olaya, at the mouth of the Unini River, Amazonia. Peruvian engineer William Cerron went on the field between January 12 and 20, 2016. He completed the project development and budget (Fall 2015 Newsletter and 2015 Mission Report, August 7). The water was captured at the foot of a waterfall and gravity-driven in each of 164 houses and 4 community spaces, including the school. A pipe is suspended over the Machintoni River to bring water to the village of José Olaya. (Fall 2016 Newsletter). Cement basins were built for each family as well as the third tank. The heavy and incessant rains have delayed work (Spring 2017 Newsletter). This project was finally inaugurated on July 16, 2017 (Mission Report 2017 p .4).

Nopoki in the area of ‘Atalaya: setting up of a permanent course on water management. The course was given to 390 students from this university center in the Amazon. This course is specifically designed for aspiring Aboriginal teachers (Spring 2017 Newsletter).

Saurama, in the province of Vilcashuaman. At the request of the new mayor, we agreed to upgrade the system pumping station we had built in the early 2000s. This drinking water system serves five villages with 220 families. We also agreed to expand the system we had installed in 2008 in Huallhua Village. A new source has been captured. The municipality has appointed an operator for the maintenance of these systems. The inauguration took place on June 27, 2017 (Mission Report 2017 p .1).

2015/2016

Pillucho, Province of Vilcashuamán: This project was inaugurated on April 23, 2016. In this very remote rural community, the engineer Mercedes Torres realized in spring 2014, the feasibility study. Phase I of this project was quite complicated because the only source of water available was buried under 5 meters of rock during a landslide. The peasants of this community have worked hard to clear this source at the bottom of the ravine at nearly 4000 m altitude and 4 km from the village. The construction of the infrastructure for the capture of the source was made in the second half of 2014 by the Peruvian engineering firm JJR Durand. A first filter was constructed at the outlet of the catchment and a second at the end of the 4 km water line, just before the entry of water into the main tank. This 15 m3 tank has been completely renovated (Newsletter Fall 2014). Phase II of this project was completed in 2015 and consisted of the installation of the water distribution network and home connections as well as the construction of a cement basin for each of the 52 families. During the rainy season, in early 2015, the community planted around 3,000 shrubs near the spring to reinforce and preserve it against possible landslides (2015 Mission Report, August 13).

Cuchoquesera, Cangallo province, Ayacucho: this 2-phase project, drinking water and dry toilets, is carried out in partnership with the SIE (International Water Secretariat) of Montreal, SER (Servicios Educativos Rurales) of Peru and AESN (Agence de Seine-Normandie) from France (Spring 2014 Newsletter). Phase I, system of access to drinking water, was inaugurated on August 16, 2015 (2015 Mission Report). In Phase II, ecological dry toilets with showers were built for each family. They are operational for the greatest happiness of people. Cuchoquesera being located upstream of the large water reserve for the city of Ayacucho / Huamanga, the choice of this type of toilet was essential (2016 Mission Report).

Tzipani, Atalaya Province, Ucayali: (Spring 2015 Newsletter) water has been captured 1 km from the village and the slope is sufficient to bring water, by gravity, into the 35 houses of the Ashaninka community. The water tank was built of concrete near the entrance to the village. The workers completed the home connections and also installed a prefabricated sink in each of the houses. This project was officially inaugurated on August 14th, 2016 (Mission Report 2015 , August 6 and Fall 2016 Newsletter.

Family Gardens, Vilcashuamán: Sylvestre agronomist Quispe is leading these projects, which consist of the installation of a sprinkler irrigation system. This type of project is unique in the region. To date, Sylvestre has installed this system in the villages of San José de Tia, Parcco (Autumn Newsletter 2015andMission Report 2015, 13 August) and Pujas (Fall 2016 Newsletter). Farmers’ enthusiasm is palpable because these projects provide them with food security and the sale of surplus crops generates income for their families.
