Integral Security Projects: Water, Energy and Food

The Nexus Project integrates water, energy and food security in an innovative way in the San Pedro de Casta Rural Community, the main contributor of water to the Rimac River basin. In the face of climate change and resource scarcity, we implement sustainable solutions that improve the quality of life of families and strengthen the resilience of the territory.
