Our objective
Improve irrigation efficiency in small plots and strengthen the capacities of
agricultural producers in the upper basin of the Lurin River valley
.
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 Global Center for Development and Democracy and the Fund of the Americas, we were able to improve irrigation efficiency and strengthen the capacities of agricultural producers in communities in the upper basin of the Lurin River valley, through training, technical assistance and teaching appropriate methods on drip irrigation systems for the cultivation of peas, alfalfa and potatoes.
