Islands of Peace Peru
2024
Peru
The aim of this project is to provide hot water for showers of farming families in Peru, so that they can take a hot shower after school and work days. This is a project in collaboration with NGO Islas de Paz, whose mission is to improve the living standards of families in Peru.
The project will take place in Manuel Garcia, Yarumayo, Huánuco, Peru. The families living here live at an altitude of more than 3000 meters above sea level. The families here use water from the rivers, but because of the altitude it is quite cold. The showers were installed by IDPP in 2022, but because of the cold they are hardly used. That is why IDPP wants to find a solution for this in collaboration with Humasol. The solution should be cheap and easy to maintain, repair and replicate. The project will start with 20 families that have previously worked with IDPP, after which IDPP wants to use the design on a larger scale throughout Peru.
