Pachamama Raymi

Our mission is to facilitate integral and sustainable prosperity in rural families and their environment, discovering and strengthening their potential, cooperating with companies, governments and local institutions. We are a non-profit civil association based in the city of Cusco, Peru. We have implemented proven projects to eradicate poverty in more than 280 rural communities in various countries around the world. In Peru, since 2008, in Tanzania since 2015 and in Nepal since 2016. The methodology we use in Pachamama Raymi, is a training system that was developed since 1988 by our president, we implemented it with the same elements in the various projects we promote. Some of these elements are used by other institutions in Latin America, Europe and Africa, such as contests between families. Our main objective is to break the vicious circle of environmental degradation and rural poverty, making communities and rural families improve, substantially and sustainably, the management of their natural resources, achieving prosperity. We don't have political or religious affiliation, we do have concrete goals in the task of eradicating poverty, through the promotion of sustainable practices. Our Objectives are: Break the vicious circle of environmental degradation and rural poverty in 90% of the communities where we work, achieving within three consecutive years that more than 60% of the population change the management of their natural resources for one that generates the recovery of such resources and prosperity. Get 60% of the families of each community to obtain: - Dignified and healthy homes, with food security. - Productive activities that in the short term generate income, almost constant during the year, above the level of the country's minimum wage. - Raise the self-esteem of the farmers with an optimistic vision of their future. - The plantation of 1,000 forest trees per family per year, with a percentage of tree life higher than 80% that will provide them with long-term income.

Our aim is to create change in countries with coral reef environments. Our in-country programs involve: (i) habitat characterization, reef assessment and monitoring; (ii) reef clean-up activities and removal pest species (iii) ecological restoration; (iv) education and training of local communities, school children, resort and dive center staff and tourists; and (v) outreach and raising awareness. (vi) user group participation in conservation activities. Our goal is to enhance the capacity of local communities, tourists and various user groups so they can take ownership of their coral reefs better understand the problems facing reefs, and take simple steps to reduce the threats and enhance reef conservation. We achieve this through our education program and "citizen science" where we involve communities, students, local divers and dive operators, visitors, local marine biologists and resort staff in all our projects and initiatives. We engage various stakeholders, students and visitors in our coral reef workshops, and allow them to participate in our in-water monitoring and rehabilitation efforts. Our mission is to understand and reduce threats affecting coral reefs, promote sustainable management of reef resources and rehabilitate degraded reef ecosystems through scientific research, education, community involvement, and outreach.
