Thanks to the joint effort of DAS Perú, the Peruvian Air Force (FAP) which deploys large-capacity aircraft, the Peruvian Army with its officers and soldiers, organizations providing donations, and volunteer doctors, care in various specialties was provided to native communities in places like Purús, San Francisco, Pikiniki, and several others, benefiting hundreds of children and adults in extreme poverty.

Joint Humanitarian Effort in Purús

In line with our commitments to indigenous peoples from tribes like Huni Kuin, Sharanahua, and others, we've given technical support to help draft Life Plans for 10 native communities. This management document helps communities document their worldview, history, identify opportunities, prioritize their needs, and improve their living conditions while preserving their ancestral knowledge. This effort strengthens their communal governance capabilities.

Empowering Indigenous Communities through Life Plans

DAS Perú is dedicated to empowering women and girls, the custodians of culture, customs, and language in their communities. As they assume leadership roles within their families, we strive to amplify their voices and respect their opinions, fortifying their positions for a more equitable future.

The Core of Community Development

Purús' native communities primarily hunt, fish, and engage in small-scale agriculture, cultivating products like bananas, yucca, and watermelon. They consume and sell these resources to purchase other essentials like sugar and rice. To enhance and improve their food security, we provide agricultural tools like boots, machetes, and carts to aid their work efficiently.
