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.
