Donate trees to help impoverished families in Peru

Dear Donors

All these months we have been working day in and day out with each of the farming families.
The prosperity of the families is focused on improving their housing and food, making their businesses fair and sustainable, and improving their soil, air quality and water availability by planting trees.
Their homes are improving, being clean and tidy, smoke free, with walls tiled and painted, many of them with their future plan on the walls of a special place in their house, as well as establishing bio-gardens with vegetables and fruit trees to improve their nutrition; making their existing businesses or innovating new businesses sustainable and with fair prices; and recovering their soils, air and water quality of their environment and the planet by planting trees.
The improvement of the economy is focused on improving and innovating their businesses or starting new ones, such as guinea pig breeding, beekeeping, pasture management, actions to improve the production of dairy cows, the production of dairy products, the rich cheese and yoghurt, better practices for the production of sheep, alpacas.

In the communities they have been taking care of each plant in the nurseries, preparing for the rainy season and the beginning of the forestation campaign 2022-2023; they are establishing in their Communal Assemblies as a space for decision making, the formation of the Forestry Committees who will watch over the care and maintenance of the planted trees.
The inter-learning internships at the successful Granja Porcón in Cajamarca and the successful communities and families in Cusco have been fundamental for the families to identify themselves and see the potential they have for their future. The internships bring the enthusiasm of what they have learned; the families who participated arrive in their communities, and organise community assemblies with the support of our coordinator to replicate all the knowledge acquired to the other families and transmit to them the excitement of learning, proposing what they can do and getting down to work.

We continue to establish an atmosphere of trust and dialogue between the community authorities and the families of the communities, and the Pachamama Raymi team, this relationship is very important for the sustainability of the families.
Our project coordinators have undergone national and international training to improve our nurseries and this has been very valuable, and we are already putting it into practice.

We are grateful to be in a situation that allows us to continue to serve our community during this crisis.
We hope to continue to count on your generosity and continue to sow prosperity!

The future of farming families and the planet is in the trees

Dear Donors,

We are very grateful for your continued support to the farming families, who are the protagonists of their own future.

The families continue to practice what they have learned during the years of direct impact of the Pachamama Raymi methodology; the future of their family and the planet is in the trees.

In March, we expanded the scope of the Carbon Credits Pre-Feasibility Study.

• These months have been of continuous study on the eligibility of our projects to certify carbon credits, based on the Verra and Plan Vivo standards; there are many criteria to meet and we are taking our first steps to validate the existing 2,166 hectares.
• This is a win-win relationship for the 52 farming communities and for the planet with the capture of 248,511 tCO2-e in 26 years.

The communities have been very receptive during the geo-referencing field activity, and see this project as a great opportunity.

The farming communities have invited us to participate in their community assemblies to learn more about this project and to let us know their vision for the future and their needs.

Plan Vivo istailored to local possibilitiesforcommunity and smallholderforestry and land use projectsthatstrive to make a difference.  Itisdesigned to work in differentgeographical, socio-economic and legal contexts, and has beendeveloped in closeconsultationwithitsusers, includingprojects, Plan Vivo Certificatebuyers and otherinvitedparties.

VERRA is a standard forcertifyingcarbonemissionreductions, catalysing tangible climateactions and sustainabledevelopmentoutcomes. Verrastandards drive large-scaleinvestmenttowardshigh-impactactivitiesthataddresssome of today'smost pressing environmental and social issues.

We have also given them information on how to register their plantations with the National Forestry Service (SERFOR), a government entity that accredits them with legal ownership of their timber, mushroom products, resins, carbon credits, among others.

Likewise, we invite the peasant communities to carry out the procedures regarding the ownership of their land, an indispensable requirement for accrediting ownership of this type of project.

It was identified that the public data available is up to date until 2014, presenting differences with the data presented during the georeferencing.

With this work we have expanded the possibilities for farming families to be the protagonists of their future.
