Fidamar

After two months of implementation and with a technified water storage and irrigation system already 65% completed, the rural community of Ispacas is beginning to transform water scarcity into productive opportunities. This is part of what FIDAMAR and its partner CEPDE are building in Condesuyos.

Following a successful pilot phase in 2025, “Allin Kausay Ispacas” —“Good Living in Ispacas”— is benefiting 124 families this year through initiatives aimed at strengthening food security, nutrition, and the sustainable use of water.

The project also includes the installation of family bio-gardens, technified breeding of guinea pigs and laying hens, technical training, and comprehensive actions for the prevention and treatment of childhood anemia, alongside the promotion of healthy eating practices and coordinated work with local stakeholders.

During its first two months, the project successfully completed its first anemia screening campaign among participating families, including 72 children under the age of five. Follow-up actions for identified cases have already begun in coordination with the local health center. In addition, community agreements are being promoted and workshops are being carried out on productive sustainability, climate change, and efficient water management.

Through “Allin Kausay Ispacas,” we aim to strengthen local capacities and promote a sustainable model built together with the community and its institutions. 🤝
