Our objective
Contribute to water security through the implementation of an Ecosystem-based Adaptation measure, with a focus on gender and social inclusion.
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.
We encourage companies to manage water sustainably, strengthening their competitiveness and generating shared value in the territories where they operate.
Together with the Latin American Future Foundation (FFLA) and the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) we have been developing the project “Protection and Conservation of the Bofedal Yanasenega, an ancient ecosystem located in the rural community of San Pedro de Casta that contributes to water security in Lima, within the framework of its regional funding program to strengthen the implementation of fair and effective measures to conserve and protect the ecosystems of Latin America.
In this sense, the project is aligned with an Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) measure whose main component is the perimeter fencing of the Yanasenega wetland. It will also involve strengthening the community and its local stakeholders in terms of gender and social inclusion, and empowering women in decision-making for EbA measures.
