3 Generations is committed to indigenous peoples and their struggles to protect their communities, lands and traditions. When the pandemic struck the indigenous communities in Chinchero Peru, 3 Generations responded by creating the Ayni Relief Fund to help support their needs within the community. We are happy to give you an update on the situation from community leader Puma Quispe:
Dear Global family, Chinchero is reactivating after the Pandemic. Finally businesses are opening up and more work opportunities are growing . As the main activity besides tourism is agriculture we are supporting many people with seeds. We are also providing bicycles for transportation. We are almost finished building the Community School and Internet Center that will be used by 200 students all year to access advanced education and to learn English.
The tourism industry is still very limited. Most of the people in our community are producing potatoes and grains to be sold in the valleys and be exchanged with vegetables and fruits that come from lower altitudes. We are slowly bringing back prosperity and abundance to our homes. Much help is still needed for the health of our Elders and the education of our children that are still struggling from this pandemic.
Infinite Gratitude for your support. Global Ayni.
Your support and solidarity has been critical for the people of Chinchero to continue to withstand the pandemic.
