5432L litres of drinking water funded so far

Movimiento Peruanos Sin Agua was founded in 2005 with a clear goal. Water for everyone. Its president, Abel Cruz, pushed an idea as simple as it is powerful. Getting water out of the fog.

Their fog catchers capture moisture from the air and turn it into water for drinking and irrigation. In areas with good fog, each structure can collect around 300 litres a day. They also work on rainwater harvesting, wastewater treatment and desalination.

It is not a small project. More than 60,000 families have benefited, and they won the Antonio Brack Egg National Environmental Award in 2015 and the Google Challenge in 2017.

Every quarter we will publish the project numbers and dated photos here. Even when they are small.

Mosqoy means dream in Quechua. Since 2006 they have worked with Quechua communities in the Andes so that tourism and development do not wipe out their culture.

They support more than 200 weavers in 11 communities, keeping hand weaving with natural fibres and dyes alive. And at Casa Mosqoy, in Cusco, they give young people scholarships, housing and mentoring so they can go to university. More than 70 have already graduated.

Misión Huascarán works in rural Áncash, in more than 40 villages above 3,000 metres. They do not focus on one thing but on four at once. Health, nutrition, education and housing.

They run mobile health posts with more than 1,100 consultations a month, a nutrition programme that has cut child anaemia from over 44% to around 9%, and a textile workshop, Tejiendo Esperanza, that gives work to rural women.

It is not water, but it is the same idea underneath. Where you happen to be born should not decide what you can become.

Comparte Perú is a volunteer association founded in 2015. They work with children, teenagers, families and teachers in public schools to strengthen education, mental health and talent development.

It runs on its volunteers. More than 1,800 people and dozens of active programmes.
