PERU LNG 2021 Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT PERU LNG 2021 CHAPTER 6 WORKING WITH RESPONSIBILITY AND COMMITMENT ALLIN RURAY - GOOD WORK One of the most difficult challenges facing PERU LNG was to find sustainable projects that would improve the quality of life for people living in extreme poverty in the high-altitude parts of the pipeline route, whose economy is based on subsistence farming - principally the rearing of alpacas. The Allin Ruray program (translated from Quechua as 'learning by doing) is being implemented as part of a strategic alliance with Prosynergy and concentrates on the Minas Corral, Cayramayo and Huayraccasa annexes to the community of Paccha, more than four thousand meters above sea level in Ayacucho region. The purpose of the program is to consolidate production skills, management and sales of added value products from alpacal fibre, made by the three cooperatives in the community of Paccha. It's aim is to provide the cooperatives with management skills with which to plan, organize and direct the production and commercial processes in order to transform and sell 80% of their alpaca fibre. They are also expected to develop a diversified range of products designed to respond to market trends and requirements, to be sold via agents, fairs and the Eco Alpaca website. Under these criteria, the strategy in 2021 was to strengthen commercial processes and give priority to designs desired by the market (such as Messrs. Donofrio), thus ensuring that the cooperatives are sustainable and consolidating product quality. This program improves the economy of the communities and a further benefit is that it is highly inclusive. It provides jobs for women, empowering them and giving them an independent income, as well as encouraging the employment of senior citizens, vulnerable and marginalized individuals and young people regardless of gender. All learn the techniques of yarn spinning, dyeing, embroidery and weaving, as well as handicrafts to add value to the alpaca fibre. The health emergency restrictions continued to apply in 2021 and fibre sales (transformed into felt, yarn, clothing and ornaments) amounted to S/ 15 959.75 soles, a slight increase compared with 2020, showing that the project is sustainable in an adverse context. Given the successful experience in Cayramayo, in the second half of 2021 the project was extended to two new alpaca- raising communities: Paira and Pischccahuasi in the district of Pilpichaca, province of Huaytara, Huancavelica Region, where it was received with enthusiasm and positive forecasts for both production and sales. THIS PROGRAM IMPROVES THE ECONOMY OF THE COMMUNITIES AND A FURTHER BENEFIT IS THAT IT IS HIGHLY INCLUSIVE. 57
