Humanitarian support with food and medicine including oxygen during COVID19 pandemic, Lima, Peru This project is a direct continuation of PER313.
Peru has suffered severely during the first wave of the COVID19, with, for many months, the highest per capita death rate globally. The government's initial strict quarantine response began on 15 March 2020, and, at the beginning of February 2021 was reintroduced as the second wave of the virus hit Peru. This has exacerbated the already severe economic crisis, which has caused thousands of young people and adults to lose their jobs. In this context, the most impoverished areas continue to organise themselves in community kitchens and self-managed canteens, and seek support. Hospitals are again overwhelmed; there is no oxygen nor any available ICU beds. Medicines to alleviate CV19 symptoms, are now only available with a prescription and at vastly increased prices.

Local families and Venezuelan migrants have been identified through the parishes and pastoral workers in the two project areas, which were selected, as they are two of the worst affected districts in Lima and indeed in Peru. These are families living in poverty and extreme poverty who are not in work, nor able to earn and income, including people who are isolated due to CV19. The situation of the Venezuelan migrant population is critical, as 90% of them are in Lima and 90% of those do not have a work contract or health insurance. Nor do they have a family network around them to support them. This new project will provide 240 meals a day, 6 days a week, for two months, to people who have fallen between the cracks and who have no income. PPE will be provided as needed.

This project also seeks to enable those who cannot purchase prescribed medicines/oxygen to alleviate COVID19 symptoms or other illnesses such as diabetes due to their lack of income, to do so, with financial support. 

This project takes part alongside a nationwide response by Caritas Peru,  the diocese's own response, Bishop's Conference and in coordination with the Ministry of Health.
Climate change adaptation and environmental degradation prevention through water and land management This project is based on Suma Marka's experience in implementing community environmental monitoring and water management processes in 2018, and aims to consolidate 1) the strategic thrusts that govern Suma Marka's projects: Organisation, Training, Local Information Gathering and (Collective) Citizen Action and 2) principles of citizen participation; equality and gender equity; child protection; respect for the customs and cultural traditions of the Andean region. The project also aims to implement a creative space for young people currently following technical or professional courses, from rural and urban areas. In many cases they know the needs of rural populations first-hand. The space will enable them to propose and execute low-cost projects, through seed funding, that have a socio-environmental impact, with the support of a network of local, national and international professionals seeking a space to share their experiences and knowledge.

In the first year of the project, forestation and protection of water source activities will be completed in the Chacas lagoon microbasin, along with monitoring with the school and university. Suma Marka will also develop a comprehensive platform for virtual training and reporting on the results of and tools used for community environmental monitoring. This will allow participants to have direct access to the information that has been gathered, and will also be available to their partner institutions. By the second year of the project, Suma Marka hopes to have a portfolio of projects led by monitors, rural managers, young people and women. Finally, the project also aims to organise exchanges on participatory water monitoring. As part of this project Suma Marka will continue to work on institutional strengthening, by strengthening its policies, including those relating to use of information, safeguarding, feedback and complaints handling and financial management.
Community strengthening in water management and climate change adaptation in Huacullani, Puno This project aims to support rural indigenous communities in the District of Huacullani, Puno through training in water management and climate change adaptation. This is an area affected by mega projects and climate change, factors impacting communities' access to water and, as a result, their farming production. 
This project will work with communities to strengthen their organisation and place increased value on local ancestral water management techniques to enable communities to collectively adapt and become more resilient to the effects of climate change, such as drought, reduced annual precipitation, fewer water sources, extreme weather events (hail, excessive heat, etc). This project also includes institutional strengthening and the development of institutional policies such as fraud, complaints handling and data protection.
Promoting good environmental governance and the protection of natural resources in Peru Red Muqui is a Peruvian civil society coalition working on the social impact of mining. It has 27 members, including key CAFOD partner CEAS, the Social Action Commission of the Peruvian Bishops’ Conference and ten other-Church based groups. The project aims to protect human rights and natural resources in Peru in order to ensure sustainable development, which takes into account the needs of the local population.
Youth skills training and reduction of community violence The Institute of Education and Health (IES) is an NGO with a multi-disciplinary team of professionals from the fields of health, education and the social and human sciences. It has been working on HIV prevention with adolescents in state secondary schools in Metropolitan Lima and nationwide since 1990. It has succeeded in having its approach adopted by local health authorities and backed by the School and Adolescent Health Division of the Ministry of Health. It strengthened 10 youth groups in three cities to lobby local government to implement HIV prevention programmes for young people, and two youth groups secured funding from the municipal ‘participative budget’ for improvements to prevention measures and care for young people. 

The current project will build on IES' work on youth employment, helping young people in schools to set up businesses, in collaboration with the Municipal Government of El Callao. The project also has a another component which addresses violence faced by young people in the community and in couples, involving training for young people on issues ranging from personal development to HIV prevention in the framework of prevention of violence.  IES works with youth groups to help them lobby for violence prevention work, with the aim of having protection services and local government take measures to address the issue.
Promoting an integral management of water resources in Ancash, Peru The population of the Community of Cruz de Mayo has clean water for agriculture and subsistence but in the last 20 years, as result of hydroelectric activity and the melting of glaciers, quality and quantity of available water has decreased and conflicts between farmers, agro-industry, mining and hydroelectric companies have grown. 

CAFOD has been working for six years in partnership with the Peruvian Bishops Social Action Commission (CEAS) and Newcastle University in the UK to support the community of Cruz de Mayo to build a solid participatory water monitoring system. This has so far enabled the community to build understanding of local water resources and negotiate with hydroelectric company Duke Energy for a shared use of waters of lake Paron. This new phase of the project (April 2016-March 2018) foresees to consolidate the participatory water monitoring work started previously and foster alternative economic activities that take into account the integral development of the sub-basin Paron-Lullan. Additionally, the community of Cruz de Mayo, in conjunction with key stakeholders and civil society organisations at a local, national and international level, will seek to make contributions to the definition and implementation of public policies for the sustainable management of water resources and their territories.
Humanitarian response COVID19 pandemic: food, health, and emotional support in Lima, Peru This project is a direct continuation of PER318. 
Peru continues to be severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, facing the highest per capita death rate in the world as of July 2021. Only 12.7% of the population have been fully vaccinated and there is growing concern about the spread of the Lambda C.37 variant. Peruvian GDP fell 11.12% in 2020, following 22 years of uninterrupted growth. As a result of COVID, a further 3.3 million new people living in poverty, 10 million people in total, or a third of the population. Lima has been one of the worst hit areas. Marginalised urban communities have severely affected due to deepening of their socio-economic vulnerabilities, lack of access to health clinics and hospitals, and insufficient medical equipment and medicines.
This new four-month project will provide emergency support for four months to 240 people (95 men and 145 women) with daily meals via 8 Ollas Comunes (grassroots soup kitchens) in 2 districts of Lima, San Juan de Lurigancho and Ate to people who have fallen between the cracks and who have no income. PPE will be provided as needed. Project participants will be those families and vulnerable individuals living in poverty and extreme poverty who are not in work, nor able to earn and income, including people who are isolated due to CV19, older people and women.  This project will support purchase of medicines and rehabilitation support to alleviate COVID19 symptoms and related sequels for those who cannot afford or access these.  Finally, it will provide training to community and parish volunteers to be able to provide emotional support to local residents and families in need.  This project takes part alongside a nationwide response by Caritas Peru, the diocese's own response, Bishop's Conference and in coordination with the Ministry of Health.
Education for citizenship and human rights The Instituto Bartolomé de las Casas (IBC) was formed in 1974 with the support of Gustavo Gutiérrez (the ‘father of liberation theology’) and has a long history of providing support and leadership training in popular participation to a wide range of Peruvian organisations.   It seeks to contribute to the construction of civil society and democracy in Peru, and to the empowerment of the poor, by offering a comprehensive programme of formation for Christian communities, social organisations, university students and young professionals, and by maintaining a dialogue between social actors in Peru and in the First World.  It works from an ethical basis inspired by the preferential option for the poor.

The Centre for Studies and Publications (CEP) was set up in 1970 and played a key role in setting up the IBC, with which it has maintained the closet of relationship over the years. Much of the work in the field of education, reflection and publications is carried out jointly with the IBC and the specific role of CEP is to prepare and publish materials which support the training and outreach work of the IBC.  CEP aims to develop educational materials and events to support community leaders and youth leaders commited to social justice and personal and social development.
Early childhood development for Venezuelan refugees and host communities in poor urban areas of Lima Warmi Huasi will strengthen two community-run centres, one in Carabayllo and one in San Martin de Porres (the district where most Venezuelans currently reside). They will train 30 community volunteers to run these centres which will act as hubs and will link up with state-run services to provide the following vital services for the communities they serve: education to 100 Venezuelan and Peruvian mothers, fathers and other family members on health issues, nutrition and parenting skills for 100 children under 5; monitor the children’s growth and nutritional status; opportunities for early learning through play and participation in well-being clubs; and additional nutritional support and psychosocial services to overcome trauma and abuse for Venezuelan children. By working with both Venezuelan refugee/migrant and host communities, this project will also overcome the isolation, stigma and discrimination that many Venezuelan families are facing and integrate them into the local community.
Promoting sustainable livelihoods in Peru - Joint project component CAFOD is looking to develop the livelihoods programme in Lima, Peru, with three partners – EDUCA, IES and Solidaridad para el Desarrollo. The programme aims to improve the standard of living, self esteem and leadership skills of vulnerable young people, young people living with HIV and AIDS and women living in poor urban communities by the three partners sharing training methodology, participating in joint marketing activities and developing joint advocacy plans in order to have greater impact.
Capacity Building for Communal Management of Water Resources and Nature Puno is one of the poorest regions of Peru and with 25% of its territory in concession for mining activity it is a region with increasing socio-environmental conflict. IDECA has a long history supporting indigenous communities in Puno, mainly in the struggle to promote their culture identity and defend their individual and collective rights.  

This project is the continuation of a one-year project with IDECA (April 2015 to March 2016) to support the Aymara community of Condor Ancochahua to build their capacity to manage water resources in their territory as well as to strengthen their understanding of individual and collective rights. This new project cycle foresees to consolidate training on participatory water monitoring and support the creation of community-based water monitoring committees. It is intended that communities would use the scientific information generated through the project to lobby state authorities for a more transparent and appropriate use of water resources. A radio programme to strengthen the recognition of collective and individual rights of indigenous peoples of Puno, and particularly of those from the community of Condor Ancochahua, is also a a key component of this project. This is to foster the participation of community members and leaders in actions seeking to protect their water resources and to improve their living conditions more broadly.
Promoting youth and women's leadership in the struggle for urban environmental rights in Lima Building on the successes of their previous project PER295, DESCO seek to make visible the demands of the peri-urban neighbourhoods of southern Lima. They will build a network of digital citizenship led by young people and women from five human settlements (Héroes de Cenepa and Edén del Manantial in the district of Villa María del Triunfo, and Halcón Sagrado, Vista Alegre and Capilla in the district of San Juan de Miraflores), as well as members of collectives, volunteers and activists (especially youth and women). This network will promote the right to the city and make visible urban-environmental rights, vulnerability mitigation and disaster reduction by generating actions and spaces for intergenerational dialogue, awareness-raising and influencing authorities and public opinion at the local, metropolitan, national and international levels, with a view to promoting the defence of our common home and the voices of those demanding fair and equitable access to adequate habitat.
Emergency Response to Floods in Lurigancho Chosica, Lima Emergency support to those affected by the floods in Lima.
Peru Support Group - information and advocacy The PSG works to influence UK policy on Peru, provide reliable and updated information to a constituency in the UK and foster links between a wide range of CSOs, NGOs, and GOs in Peru and the UK. The PSG has chosen as its key themes: crucial social, environmental and human rights issues in Peru including corporate social responsibility (particularly in the extractive industries); the situation of women and other vulnerable groups, including LGBTI and indigenous people; the right to FPIC; issues relating to truth, justice and reparations.
Child protection consultancy for two Peru partners Through this project, Warmi Huasi will act as a consultant to two partners, CIDAP and DESCO, to develop their child protection policy through a participatory process. They will make use of these partners existing knowledge and lived experience, assisting them reflect on these in order to capture processes and actions to ensure that all children who participate in the projects, whether directly or indirectly, are not exposed to situations where they are at risk, and that these children are considered to have rights, especially rights relating to protection and participation.

The consultancy will consist of four elements: participatory workshops (each lasting around 7 hours), legal consultancy, development of resources and an evaluation workshop at the end of the first year of the child protection policy. Approximately 12-15 people will participate: directors, project coordinators, team members, administrative and logistics staff.
Employment opportunities for families affected by Lima floods This project is the direct continuation of project PER291 Emergency Response in Chosica, Lima (areas of Carapongo and Barba Blanca). The central goal of this new follow-up project is to support 40 homeless and/or affected families in areas on the outskirts of Lima (in the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Chosica) to restore their livelihoods following the 2017 El Nino disaster. Following an initial diagnosis study to determine their eligibility, families/individuals will be supported with training, technical assistance and a seed capital to reactivate their small businesses and livelihood opportunities. Monitoring and specialist advice will be provided by the project team to support the success and sustainability of the businesses beyond the life of the project.
Training for communal water and habitat management This project aims to strengthen rural indigenous community identity and capacity in relation to culture, water, gender and the environment, and that they are able to engage with and have greater dialogue with public and private authorities. This project will support indigenous communities and community leaders in Cóndor Ancocahua, Yorohoco, Callaza in the District of Huacullani, Puno in the southern Andes. This is an area affected by mega projects and climate change, with high levels of poverty.

This project marks a new two year funding cycle co-funded with DKA, but is a continuation of PER283.
Strengthening of social organisations in risk management and climate change in Lomas de Carabayllo Building on the experience and success of a previous project with Misereor, CIDAP will implement a three-year project working with 12 different communities in Lomas de Carabayllo, Lima, focusing on climate change adaptation, reducing risk to disasters, youth environmental leadership and the conservation of Lomas de la Primavera. To this end, CIDAP will implement a comprehensive capacity development programme encompassing practical courses on risk management, Community Risk Management Plans and Community Response Plans. Based on these plans, CIDAP will provide technical assistance to implement practical actions on disaster risk reduction and adaptation to climate change. CIDAP will also implement a programme to strengthen the capacity of 27 leaders from social organisations (including youth groups) to conserve Loma de Primavera. Advocacy and campaign strategies will be developed calling for the recognition of Lomas de Primavera as a Natural Protected Area along with activities seeking to promote it as an eco-tourism and research destination for schools and universities.
Organisational strengthening for supporting human rights defenders and indigenous community leaders This project aims to strengthen the new human rights NGO "Rights Without Borders" (Derechos Humanos Sin Fronteras) in order to promote and defend individual and collective, civic, economic, social, cultural and environmental rights of women and men, and their grassroots social organisations in the highland provinces of Peru's Cuzco region (Chumbivilcas, Espinar and Paruro). The indigenous and small farmer population of these provinces continues to suffer high levels of poverty, exclusion and violation of their human rights.
Promoting an integral management of water resources in Peru Through this project, Newcastle University will provide the scientific capacity and analysis in support of the overall water programme which aims to promote an integral and transparent management of water resources in Espinar and Ancash, two communities in the Peruvian highlands experiencing water stresses. 

The water programme aims to strengthen the capacity of community leaders, grass roots organisations and local authorities on technical issues related to participatory monitoring of water resources (quality and quantity) and legal and political issues related to the right to water. The programme also involves carrying out evidence-based research and participatory water mapping that will integrate scientific and indigenous knowledge. Ultimately, the programme aims to enable communities to enter into dialogue with government officials and private sector actors using the information they have received from the project as a tool to lobby for more transparent and appropriate use of water resources.
Ceramic production CENDA’s first project was for to upgrade the production techniques of small farmers, and in 2002 CENDA started the current project with a community of ceramic artists.  For the present three-year period they are asking for funds to buy equipment for the third of producers who have not yet been benefited by the project, and for investigation of markets.
Children and teenagers, protagonists in promoting their rights in districts of northern Lima This new project aims to continue with the progress made during the previous project PER298, whilst incorporating a new element, ie the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of children and teenagers, and a focus on strengthening capacities of parent helpers. This project seeks to strengthen the organisational capacity of the communities of Lomas de Carabayllo, in favour of the rights of children and teenagers, ensuring they have a leading role in promoting, monitoring and advocating for the rights of children and teenagers, together with community leaders, local government and others government entities. 
The project will focus primarily on four rights: education, protection, participation and a healthy environment.
Skills of communities and children's organisations will be strengthened to monitor and prevent situations that violate the rights of children and teenagers, particularly in the pandemic and post-pandemic context where the lives of children and teenagers have been dramatically impacted. The response capacity of local government and other government entities will also be strengthened to meet demands, guarantee rights and prevent violations. In Year 1, case management models for support with domestic violence will be developed; in Year 1 a 10-month programme of support for the ollas comunes will also be incorporated.
