Our objective
To reduce the gap of unconditioned surface area for water recharge from precipitation.
We rehabilitate amunas, qochas and bofedales that recharge water to the subsoil, strengthening communities and water reserves.
We train leaders and young people committed to water, promoting programs that educate, inspire and promote sustainability.
We strengthen food security with technified irrigation and sustainable practices that care for the environment and ecosystems.
We develop projects that provide safe, quality water, improving health and reducing water gaps.
Political, social, economic and administrative processes and structures used to develop, regulate and manage water resources.

With support from Backus, we implemented the Rehabilitation of 69.5 km of amunas project across four communities in the Santa Eulalia River sub-watershed.
The project addresses the need to ensure the proper functioning of the amunas rehabilitated between 2018 and 2026 through funding provided by our partner. As ancestral water infrastructure, these systems are continuously exposed to extreme weather conditions and natural wear and tear from the moment they begin operating.
Its execution was carried out in coordination with the rural communities of San Pedro de Casta, San Lorenzo de Huachupampa, Santiago de Carampoma and San Juan de Iris. Preventive maintenance included the removal of weeds, de-silting of catchment points and improvement of natural infiltration areas. Corrective maintenance included the repair of damaged sections, the reinforcement of critical sectors, the recovery of hydraulic infrastructure and the treatment of erosion areas (gullies).
