PALCA – Let’s create a welcoming and colorful organic store



PALCA

MANI / ENVI   

VOLS

PROJECT:

The " Kaypacha Kankunapa" project was carried out due to the concern of the members of the Brigada to improve the living conditions of our community brothers.

The branch of Palca of the Brigade of Bolivarian Volunteers of Peru launched the long-term project Kaypacha Kankunapa a year ago in order to create a local production center in the community of Huaruyoc.

The objective of this center is to generate an economic income for the community, working at the same time in an inclusive manner in order to involve the poorest part of the population, and using organic products from the area in order to promote a local development that respects the environment.

In particular, we work on

1. Eco-craftsmanship: (compilation, transformation and production)

2. Agroindustry: (collection, selection and transformation)

3. Eco-tourism: (valorisation, inventory)

The production center has been very successful and is well recognized in the local production landscape. The next step is the creation of a place of sale for the products of the center. In accordance with our logic of intervention, we want this store to have a social dimension as well, serving as a meeting place for locals and travelers, raising awareness of local problems and foster the ecotourism development.
