The priority of support in these sectors is children under five. Family committees
have already been formed and they have started to carry out different
activities. The committees have set up one more communal casserole and have bought a gas cooker as well as a big pot among other things to supply daily hot meals. They have moved temporarily to an open place while the house where they were functioning is repaired. |
| Chincha (Sunampe) | 392 children 327 families |
The
several family committees already consolidated in the sector are currently
providing daily hot meals. In the meantime, the provision of breakfasts for children continues: chocolate milk, juice, two bars of biscuits and a can of tuna. The can of tuna is now accompanied by some onions and potatoes which are included in the daily meals. |

The provision of breakfasts, consisting of chocolate milk, juice, two bars of biscuits and a tin of tuna continues. |

The consolidated family committee in Guadalupe has opened, among other things, a
module for early stimulation of children under five. The capacity of the module
is 50 children. A locally recognised commercial centre has supported the SOS Children’s Villages actions by bringing important provisions of new clothes for the affected children. They have also brought foods and drinkable water. Some other donations of clothes have also been received from particular friends of the organisations. |
