2023 Peru Emergency Relief Fund – Cyclone Yaku

This FOOD RELIEF REQUEST is for the communities isolated by the presence of Cyclone Yaku in Northern Peru. Cyclone Yaku caused damage in the coastal regions and heavy rains have caused rivers and streams to overflow, mudslides and landslides in many communities, still isolated today, with serious difficulties in obtaining basic foods that they carry from the cities such as: oil, sugar, salt, rice, noodles to complement with cereals and stews that they reserve for the winter.

Currently there are damaged roads in La Florida, Penachi, Kanaris, some families have lost part of their farms due to landslides, most are isolated by roads damaged by landslides. There are entire villages that are with their houses and land flooded. This is request is not to solve all their problems, but to provide support so that the families will not feel they are alone and to provide a level of confidence and strength that will help them to stay strong and move forward.

This project DISASTER SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITIES ISOLATED BY THE PRESENCE OF CYCLONE YAKU in Northern Peru. Cyclone Yaku and heavy seasonal rains have cause rivers and creeks to overflow, mudslides and landsclides in many communities that today remain isolated and with serious difficulties in obtaining basic food and medicine.

The representatives of the communities – mayors, judges, representative of organizations make journeys of 15-20 hours walking, dodging the danger, to reach the cities to request support from the government authorities. Produces are also organizing to fix the roads through minga (communal work). Life in the communities has become very expensive, they are aware that only by fixing their roads and highways can they reduce the costs to take their food and production to the market because they are close to the coffee harvest. Teachers also walk to communities to take responsibility. With disasters everything is altered in the life of communities: work, health and education.

This request is seek support to cover the expenses of tickets and accommodations of the representative of the isolated communities who come to make arrangements in Chiclayo or Lambayeque and food for the producers who are participating in the communal tasks of road repair, repair of school classrooms, arrangement of the community irrigation system.

The project will provide SUPPORT FOR TH REPAIR OF ROADS DESTROYED BY DISASTERS IN THE RURAL COMMUNITIES LISTED ABOVE BY ADDING TO THE INTERVENT OF THE MUNICIPALITIES WITH MACHINER. In general, public institutions such as municipalities only provide the machinery and a small supply of fuel and then the machinery is taken out of the community until they can get another supply of fuel, taking much longer. Cyclone Yaku and the heavy seasonal rains or the s-called El Nino Phenomenon, present this year have caused greater damage than in previous cases in 1982, 1983 and 2017.

The closure of roads caused by the overflow of rivers and streams, mudslides and landslides keeps many rural communities isolated and with serious difficulties in obtaining basic food and medicines.

The authorities' lack of foresight in clearing rivers and streams, in cleaning irrigation canals, in digging channels for drainage means that the damage to the poorest population often means that their economy of deteriorate more and more and the work and investment made disappear.

The urgent qualification of the roads would allow rural communities to take their production to the market and take the products they need to complement their diet at lower costs. It would also allow the start of school activities in better conditions and facilities to access health centers and medicines.

With this request we seek the support of the Café Femenino Foundation to complement the budget allocated by the communities with fuel for the habilitation of roads in the shortest possible time, in the most difficult section of Carretera Marginal to Hierba Buena. Marginal road to Santa Rosa Espinal. From Olos to Machucara - Kañaris - Lambayeque, benefiting more than 08 communities.

With this request we seek the support of the Café Femenino Foundation to complement the budget allocated by the communities with 400 gallons of fuel for the habilitation of roads in the shortest possible time and facilitate access to food, health and education for families in 10 isolated communities as a result of the destruction of the road by Cyclone Yaku and heavy rains.

This project will replant coffee trees and recover the irrigation system damaged by Cyclone Yaku by providing producers who have suffered damage from mudslides, floods, landslides, with seeds, coffee seedlings and shade trees, hoses and pipes.

Cyclone Yaku and the heavy seasonal rains or so-called El Niño phenomenon, presented this year have caused greater damage than in previous cases of 1982, 1983 and 2017.

This project seeks to ensure that coffee farmers and young people stay in the communities and do not migrate to the cities, abandoning the fields when their investment is lost. Recovery of their coffee farms and irrigation system will guarantee the income of the small producers and the sustainability of the 25 families who will benefit from this grant.

In the coffee communities, climate change has been greatly affecting the production of coffee, fruit trees, grains and vegetables. The presentation of the increasingly extreme weather phenomena such as heavy rains, floods, mudslides, droughts, heat waves, aggravate water shortages.

In the past, producers had adapted their crops to 6 months of rain and 6 months of drought. Currently there are 03 months of rain and 09 months of drought and now with situations like the current one, a lot of rain in short period of time and then very long periods of time where water is scarce.

This project will provide 25 rainwater storage tanks allowing the coffee producers to safely store enough water and use it in sprinkler irrigation at times of greater scarcity and greater crop requirement.
