More than 95,000 people with access to safe water and sanitation, and about 85,000 with treated wastewater.
In September 2022, the Program for expanding and improving water, sanitation, solid waste management, and water supply basins in the districts of AMSAT, Cusco, and Apurimac in Peru was completed.
With a total budget of 10 million euro, of which 8 million were FCAS donations, the program has enabled more than 5,200 people in scattered localities located in areas that are difficult to access -at an altitude of more than 3,5000 meters- to have access to quality water and sanitation services. These are 13 localities and rural population centers located in the regions of Cusco and Apurímac and are part of the Santo Tomás river sub-basin, situated on the border of the provinces of Cotabambas (Apurimac) and Chumbivilcas (Cusco).
The program has enabled the installation of 1,450 basic sanitation units (BSSU) equipped with toilets, showers, and sinks, construction or remodeling of 70 tanks, and the building of new water networks and catchments.
In addition, various training activities were carried out for rural families, including training in health education and the maintenance and operation of the systems, to ensure the long-term sustainability of service provision.
