We celebrate the success and impact of the Kusi Warma project over the past four years in the communities of Caminaca and Caracoto, Puno. After four years of dedication, this initiative has become a cornerstone in improving children's health and education, thanks to the strong partnership with ADRA Peru and the Peruvian Union University (UPeU) – Juliaca.
During 2025, we witnessed remarkable progress that fills us with optimism, directly benefiting 84 children, 62 families, 9 teachers, and 5 community health workers. The collective effort of everyone involved has allowed us to achieve ambitious goals and transform realities.
Results that inspire us to keep going
Improved health: 96% of participating children now have normal hemoglobin levels, reflecting the effectiveness of our strategies against anemia.
Educational progress: 79.3% of children have achieved an adequate level of reading comprehension, far exceeding initial expectations.
Strengthened families: 90% of families have experienced a significant improvement in their dynamics and functionality, thanks to the support and personalized workshops.
Empowered community: 95.4% of mothers have strengthened their knowledge of nutrition, hygiene, and household care. Likewise, teachers and health promoters have actively participated in our training sessions, enhancing their role as agents of change in the community.
New initiatives
This year we have innovated with the implementation and reactivation of school and family gardens, which not only provide healthy food but have also become valuable educational tools. Furthermore, the promotion of reading corners at home has reached 94% of families, creating a support network for learning at home. These actions are complemented by demonstration workshops on healthy eating, nutritious lunchbox fairs, and ongoing home visits to reinforce best practices and ensure continued support.
Looking to the Future
These four years have taught us the power of consistent monitoring, adaptation, and close support. Each challenge has been an opportunity to strengthen our strategies and generate a sustainable impact. We move forward with the conviction to continue building on these solid foundations, promoting strategic alliances, and maintaining our commitment to community development.
Together, we continue building a happier, healthier future with opportunities for all!
