ONLINE eNCounter Learning Program (Peru, 2022)

the Online ENCOUNTER Learning Program A CHANGE IN PERCEPTION, IS A CHANGE OF ACTION.

An eNCounter with the community of Paraiso (Lima, Peru) This program is designed and implemented by Nexos Comunitarios in collaboration with the Community of Nuevo Amanecer del Paraíso, in San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima.

Celebration of the first online program with the community of Paraiso. The fee helps them to build the fences to protect their houses as they live in an urban mountain, considered as highrisk area.

Paraiso is a community formed by 120 families who began living together since the early 2000s.

These families migrated to Lima from their hometowns in the Jungle, Andes, Coast of Peru, in search of better opportunities. Some left because they were escaping the pollution that originated by extractive companies, and others because of the Internal War in the 80s.

An eNCounter with Paraiso, will be a space of mutual learning to grow together.

What the community lacks in public services (such as sanitation and water), and government presence (although they are located only 20 minutes from the Presidential Palace), is made up for by their dedication in improving their community by working together.

A space of mutual learning with women and men from Paraiso, will allow all of us to learn about the different realities within Peru, their culture, and their stories around perseverance - the effort and hardwork of having to overcome the challenges of living in the big city of Lima

A view of the district. Besides Paraiso, there are other communities in the area. In total, there are 12,000 inhabitants in this part of the city.

30% of the fees will be delivered in cash to the community to work in communal efforts, such as the construction of the school, and the implementation of their sanitation system.

An eNCounter with Paraiso, will be a space of mutual learning to grow together.
