Socio-Economic Realities

Facing and Solving Mountain Isolation

In many areas of the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash there are families and children living in poor conditions, with very basic housing, no medical care, many hours walk from the closest school or village, inadequate diet, and no available cash to buy clothes, school books and pens.

Each year Peruvian Andes Adventures makes a donation from trekking trips income to offer some aid to one of the poorer communities in areas where we operate treks or climbing trips. Also donations of either money or clothes from clients are also very welcome and we ensure that they go towards a worthy cause.

Financial Transparency

Reinvestment Records & Operational Balance

The donation is used to purchase warm clothes for children in the poorest communities or to supply notebooks, pens and pencils for the schools or another project that will benefit the community, principally the children. Many families do not have the cash to buy new, warm clothes or school supplies for their children or communities do not have the resources to make small basic improvements to infrastructure such as to maintain schools, build toilets, rubbish disposal facilities etc.

At the termination of the trekking season each year, we select a community to visit and distribute clothes and school supplies to the children or work on some other project that will benefit the community.

On-Field Logs

Chronological Project Matrix

Vetting our historical trajectory. Every post-season window concludes with direct field deployment to execute targeted structural support missions.

2016: Copa Chica Primary School Staging

PAA executed an isolated Christmas staging mission at the base of Copa Mountain. Treated the children to a full cultural integration festival, gifting specialized warm windbreakers and fitted school cases with pencils to every youth.

2015: Pashpa Village Educational Support

Direct field distribution of core school blocks (notebooks, needles, pencils, pens, tactical educational games, and individual hand towels) to the primary school of Pashpa. This outpost serves the direct children lines of our Ishinca arrieros.

2014: Environmental Containment Lines

Fabricated and deployed industrial-grade rubbish containment drums across sensitive trailhead boundaries (Pitec, Cashapampa, Vaquería, Hualcayan, Llaca) to compensate for the total lack of National Park sanitation budgets.

2013: Cashapampa School Infrastructure

Surgically resolved an infrastructure emergency at the main start gate of the Santa Cruz circuit. PAA manufactured and delivered 50 custom heavy-duty classroom chairs, allowing the children of our local crew lines to study in comfort.

Micro-Sponsorship Case Study

The Evolution of Josué: From Porter to Master Artisan

Our friends from the USA Rosalie Hilburn, Nancy Rathe, their other friends and members of the Federal Way Lions Club along with Mark Jedlinski showed extreme generosity in fundraising and accumulating a substantial sum of money which they donated to form the basis of an Education Fund for our delightful young Josue. Josue helped as a porter during a trek with this group in 2007 and they were impressed by his responsible attitude and helpfulness, something quite unusual in a young 17 year old. Josue has burning ambition to study, gain tertiary qualifications, but he lacked the necessary funds to undertake his studies. Josue comes from a village where there are limited opportunities and his Dad recently passed away.

The extreme kindness of this group of friends will enable Josue to fulfil his ambition and enrol & complete his tertiary studies. In August Nancy was back in Huaraz and we had a small celebration where Nancy presented the donation to Josue and his happy mum.
