ICA Peru supports national reconstruction following floods

El Instituto de Asuntos Culturales del Perú (ICA-Perú) actualmente esta involucrado con actividades para la Reconstrucción Nacional luego de las inundaciones por el Fenómeno del Niño Costero. Nos encontramos en la fase de determinación de cuáles serán los pueblos mas afectados en donde vamos a trabajar con el Plan de Reconstrucción Nacional que el gobierno emprenderá. Es nuestro interés apoyar a las comunidades que seleccionemos, o sea las mas afectadas, para que ellas mismas sean capaces de encontrar el camino adecuado para reconstruir la infraestructura dañada en su territorio y construir la adecuada infraestructura necesaria de acuerdo a los intereses de los pobladores y lo que la modernidad exige.

Gloria Santos y Pedro Aburto han estado en Chimbote, visitando a la gente de Rinconada, un pueblo terriblemente afectado por las inundaciones en nuestro país. Este es uno de los lugares que estamos planeando apoyar.


The Institute of Cultural Affairs in Peru (ICA-Perú) is currently involved with activities for reconstruction on the national level, after the floods caused by the phenomenon of the “Niño Costero.” We are presently at the phase whereby we define the people most affected and how we are going to work with the Plan of National Reconstruction that the Government will undertake. Our interest is to select and support the communities that are the most affected, and help them find the best way to help themselves to rebuild the infrastructure damaged in its territory. This should include the interests of the inhabitants, and what the future demands.

Gloria Santos and Pedro Agurto have been in Chimbote, visiting the people of Rinconada, a town terribly affected by the floods in our country. This is one of the places we are planning to assist.

      Thank you Jane for your interest in supporting our work in La Rinconada. This people have lost everything! The total population of the village is 5200 inhabitants. The construction of the temporary homes for families devastated after these natural disasters is a priority for ICA-Peru, because winter is coming. We have committed to supporting La Rinconada and its 9 annexes, with an integral participatory reconstruction. We are so grateful with your willingness to help. Your can send your donation to an account in Banco INTERBANK – Cuenta Corriente en Dólares #2963077189459
      We will keep in touch and inform you what the people in La Rinconada will accomplish with your contribution.
