In Lobitos, northern Peru, communities are increasingly vulnerable to extreme weather. During El Nino, heavy rainfall can overwhelm fragile infrastructure, causing flooding, sewage spills, power cuts and increased risk of dengue. For local families, these threats are very real: untreated wastewater near their homes, overstretched healthcare services struggling to meet rising demand, and electricity failures when doctors need power most.
For more than a decade, EcoSwell has worked alongside communities in northern Peru to improve healthcare, access to clean energy, sanitation and the local environment. We are already helping these communities become more resilient, and your support allows us to continue and strengthen this work. Our work addresses these challenges in several ways. We help rural medical centres keep essential services running through solar power, work directly with families and local health authorities to prevent
Extreme weather may come and go, but resilient communities are better prepared for an increasingly unpredictable climate. EcoSwell's long-term work aims to reduce preventable disease, restore local ecosystems and protect future generations. Through workshops, community education and ongoing project monitoring, we equip local people with the knowledge and tools to improve water and sanitation, renewable energy and public health, and create lasting change led by the communities themselves.
