Our Team

HOW WE WORK

We are a small and dedicated team. Passionate about what we do, we work to ensure that as much funding as possible gets to the people and places that need it most to grow the Peru community.

“It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”

OUR WORK

Everyone that supports the work of Perucano started as a volunteer. In order to manifest an initiative into a project of each leader has vetted their interests and projects with the Executive Board, International advisory board members and community leaders. Our current projects represent not only a training mechanism for professional development of volunteers, but specifically a response to the needs of our community to advance towards our sustainable development goals in Peru.

The Center for Innovation in Sustainable Food Systems (CISAS) is the first project that was developed into our first program area. We are developing additional program areas that include:

(1) Community Health & (2) Human Development. CISAS and our work in Community Health is based in Peru. Our team focused on Human Development is based in Honduras.

CISAS focuses on advancing areas of agroecology, regenerative agriculture and sustainable food systems in Peru, Latin American & the Caribbean, and throughout the world.

International Advisory Board

Similar to our Executive Commission, our advisory board serves as a moral compass and guides our collective work. Board members work as volunteers and mentors for our staff, as well as contribute social capital to move projects forward. Before a project is approved by the Executive Commission, board members shape projects and inform decisions of the executive commissio.
