Dear Donors
We will change the climatic future of the region!
We have more than 2,000,000 seedlings that are under the care of our team, expert farmers and thousands of families in the highlands.
These trees improve the soil and the climate. They are refuge for the few animals that live in the area, and they mitigate and compensate for the planet's climate change.
Our projects are located in the districts of Accha, Huanoquite, Omacha, Ccapi and Ccapacmarca in the Cusco region.
The effects of the El Niño climatic phenomenon are already showing drought effects in the project area. For this reason, we are evaluating and looking for solutions together with the farming families to maintain the nursery care.
Together with the Forestry Committees and the Community Boards, we are geo-referencing the areas where we are going to plant the trees.
We also want to tell you that in July we culminated the integral project "Sowing prosperity in Accha". This project was executed from June 2020 to July 2023. Obtaining incredible results.
We are grateful to find ourselves in a situation that allows us to continue serving the farming families.
We hope to continue counting on your generosity and to continue sowing prosperity!
Help us with your donation, tell your loved ones about our project, let's Sow Prosperity!

900,000 trees for the planet
Dear Donors
Thanks to the Pachamama!
The farming families of the Peruvian highlands succeeded in planting 900,000 trees in Cusco!
We are happy about the plantations of this 2022-2023 campaign. We overcame all the obstacles we faced, such as the late start of the rainy season and the problems of road closures.
The families managed to plant 900,000 trees that improve the soil and climate, that serve as shelter for the few animals that live in the area, that mitigate and compensate for climate change.
Definitely these trees are the future of the farming families, in 2 years they will have their first production of pine mushrooms that will serve to improve their food and their economy through the sale.
They are also training and strengthening the forestry committees of the communities on the care of the trees due to animal damage and programming activities to prevent forest fires.
The project coordinators are starting the new production of seedlings.
The families are preparing for the up coming competitions in the Accha District.
Also the juries are preparing for this big qualification day next month.
All the nurseries are startingtheir new production of seedlings and installing irrigation systems to ensure their growth and we will be watching the care of these new plants in the nurseries.

Dear Donors Happy New Year 2023
We have started our planting campaign.
Thanks to the Pachamama! The families are getting down to work! digging holes and planting trees.
We were all very worried. We wait 2.5 months (October-December) and for the rainy season to start, while the families continued to take care of the plants in the nurseries and held meetings to define the planting areas.
For this campaign we estimate to plant 900,000 trees between December 2022 and February 2023. These trees improve the soil and climate, they serve as shelter for the few animals thatlive in the area, they will mitigate and compensate for climate change.
The mushrooms appear with the first rains and families can harvest them, it is an improvement to their economy.
These trees are the future of the farming families, they will generate sustainable in come in the short, medium and longterm.
The forestry committees work with the communities to take care of the animals and to preventfires.
Together with the families and with the support of the municipal authorities, we have built new, high-capacity nurseries using the Chilean seedling production technique. As for the availability of seeds in the country for purchase, it has been very difficult to find them and the costs have been very high. That is why we are acquiring seeds in Chile forthe 2023-2024 season.
We celebrated the feast of prosperity with all the winning families and communities in the districts of Accha, Independencia and Echarati. Families were awarded for their significant achievements and progress. These families obtained the highestmarks in the contest, evaluated by a rigorous team of jurors.
The competitions motivate families and communities to improve their homes, businesses, common spaces, and overall quality of life. Communication, trust and dialogue between the families, their representatives, partner institutions and our work team are verygood.
On theo ther hand, the competitions are a mechanism to find the families with the best achievements in a systematic way. Subsequently, within the se families we will be able to find candidates to become farmer experts.
The categories of:
1) Housing and health,
2) Irrigation, crops and pastures,
3) Forestry,
4) Sustainablebusiness,
5) HappinessforAllweregraded.
Awards were also given to theJury, the Committee of Administrative Boards of Sanitation Services (JASS).
During the awards ceremony, the artistic expressions of dances, gastronomy, poetry and singing were qualified.
We are grateful to be in a situation that allows us to continue to serve our community.
We hope to continue to counton your generosity and continue to planting prosperity!

Dear Donors
All these months we have been working day in and day out with each of the farming families.
The prosperity of the families is focused on improving their housing and food, making their businesses fair and sustainable, and improving their soil, air quality and water availability by planting trees.
Their homes are improving, being clean and tidy, smoke free, with walls tiled and painted, many of them with their future plan on the walls of a special place in their house, as well as establishing bio-gardens with vegetables and fruit trees to improve their nutrition; making their existing businesses or innovating new businesses sustainable and with fair prices; and recovering their soils, air and water quality of their environment and the planet by planting trees.
The improvement of the economy is focused on improving and innovating their businesses or starting new ones, such as guinea pig breeding, beekeeping, pasture management, actions to improve the production of dairy cows, the production of dairy products, the rich cheese and yoghurt, better practices for the production of sheep, alpacas.
In the communities they have been taking care of each plant in the nurseries, preparing for the rainy season and the beginning of the forestation campaign 2022-2023; they are establishing in their Communal Assemblies as a space for decision making, the formation of the Forestry Committees who will watch over the care and maintenance of the planted trees.
The inter-learning internships at the successful Granja Porcón in Cajamarca and the successful communities and families in Cusco have been fundamental for the families to identify themselves and see the potential they have for their future. The internships bring the enthusiasm of what they have learned; the families who participated arrive in their communities, and organise community assemblies with the support of our coordinator to replicate all the knowledge acquired to the other families and transmit to them the excitement of learning, proposing what they can do and getting down to work.
We continue to establish an atmosphere of trust and dialogue between the community authorities and the families of the communities, and the Pachamama Raymi team, this relationship is very important for the sustainability of the families.
Our project coordinators have undergone national and international training to improve our nurseries and this has been very valuable, and we are already putting it into practice.
We are grateful to be in a situation that allows us to continue to serve our community during this crisis.
We hope to continue to count on your generosity and continue to sow prosperity!

The future of farming families and the planet is in the trees
Dear Donors,
We are very grateful for your continued support to the farming families, who are the protagonists of their own future.
The families continue to practice what they have learned during the years of direct impact of the Pachamama Raymi methodology; the future of their family and the planet is in the trees.
In March, we expanded the scope of the Carbon Credits Pre-Feasibility Study.
The communities have been very receptive during the geo-referencing field activity, and see this project as a great opportunity.
The farming communities have invited us to participate in their community assemblies to learn more about this project and to let us know their vision for the future and their needs.
Plan Vivo istailored to local possibilitiesforcommunity and smallholderforestry and land use projectsthatstrive to make a difference. Itisdesigned to work in differentgeographical, socio-economic and legal contexts, and has beendeveloped in closeconsultationwithitsusers, includingprojects, Plan Vivo Certificatebuyers and otherinvitedparties.
VERRA is a standard forcertifyingcarbonemissionreductions, catalysing tangible climateactions and sustainabledevelopmentoutcomes. Verrastandards drive large-scaleinvestmenttowardshigh-impactactivitiesthataddresssome of today'smost pressing environmental and social issues.
We have also given them information on how to register their plantations with the National Forestry Service (SERFOR), a government entity that accredits them with legal ownership of their timber, mushroom products, resins, carbon credits, among others.

Likewise, we invite the peasant communities to carry out the procedures regarding the ownership of their land, an indispensable requirement for accrediting ownership of this type of project.
It was identified that the public data available is up to date until 2014, presenting differences with the data presented during the georeferencing.
With this work we have expanded the possibilities for farming families to be the protagonists of their future.
