All food supplies have been delivered to the communities of Lambayeque and Amazonas. 70% of the communities in Cajamarca have received the food supplements, the remaining 30% will be delivered in early October. The gift of the basic food supplements brings the message of kindness and support and they have been gratefully received by the women coffee producers.

ROAD GRADER FUEL:
The roads in Tallapampa have been cleared using the funds to provide the fuel for the road graders. The landslide leading to Pampa Hermosa was cleared in early September. The community had been isolated since Cyclone Yaku hit in February and their food supplements were delivered a week after the roads opened.
There are still two communities that are isolated due to landslides: La Cria and San Jose Huanama. The requests for funding the fuel to operate the road graders were not yet funded so clearing the earth and boulders is being done manually and is a slow and tedious process.
DISASTER SUPPORT FOR LAMBAYEQUE:
The funds were used to purchase bus tickets and food so that isolated community leaders could travel to the Province and to the Region to request machinery and fuel. Additionally, funds were used to provide food for those who have worked clearing the roads. The remainder of the food supplies will be delivered in October.
COFFEE ECOSYSTEM RECOVERY SYSTEMS:
The mesh to protect the coffee plants from the sun has been delivered to Santa Rosa Espinal, Caracha and Machucara; supplies will be delivered to Villarumi and Pampa Hermosa in October. Some irrigation system replacements have been delivered as well. The need for irrigation system replacements will be fully determined upon completion of the community assessment.

Machucara, Hierba Buena, have not started yet due to the problem of heavy rains.

Recovery of the Coffee Ecosystem Requests
Grants 2022-47; 2022-48 and 2022-49
Information is being collected in each community, information such as how many coffee plants have been lost, how much has been lost in irrigation systems, and they are assembling the groups to make collective nurseries. There are already three groups: Machucará, Tallapampa, Nueva York. The plan is to put together about 10 groups.
Each group must produce 10 thousand seedlings. That will remain as an activity to be carried over every year.
