Geneva, 13 November 2007
Dear Colleagues,
On August 15, 2007, an earthquake of a magnitude of 7.0 on the Richter scale occurred 62 kilometers from the city of Pisco, and 262 kilometers to the south of Lima, Peru. The earthquake affected the southwestern part of Lima, on the west coast, along a stretch 186 kilometers long and 70 kilometers wide, covering an area of approximately 13,000 square kilometers. The regions hardest hit were Ica (provinces of Pisco, Ica, and Chincha), Lima (provinces of Cañete and Yauyos) and Huancavelica (provinces of Huaytará and Castrovirreyna).
The earthquake resulted in 540 deaths, some 4,200 injuries, 52,000 victims and close to 200,000 persons affected. Approximately 53,000 homes were destroyed and around 22,000 homes were affected, as well as schools, hospitals and health centers. Likewise, 20 kilometers of irrigation canals were destroyed (11 kilometers in Castrovirreyna and 9 in Huaytará), and approximately 44 kilometers of canals were affected.
In the days after the disaster, ACT Forum members PREDES, DIACONIA and LWR assessed the damage in areas they are operating in. A RRF was issued to support the population in the provinces of Chincha, Huaytará and Castrovirreyna. PREDES and DIACONIA provided emergency shelters, water deposits and sanitation. They distributed training materials related to hygiene, construction of earthquake resistant housing and assistance to children to cope with disasters. The members also provided psycho-social and community support to the communities. LWR distributed food kits to families and provided psychosocial care to children and trainings to strengthen the coping capacity of the affected families. The Church of Sweden supported the implementing members through a team providing training on an Community Based Psycho-social Approach, which is considered very appropriate in these circumstances.
Unforeseen difficulties with coordination have unfortunately delayed the process of launching this appeal. But the assessment by the ACT members in Peru shows that there is still a considerable need to implement the activities as proposed.
ACT is a global alliance of churches and related agencies working to save lives and support communities in emergencies worldwide. The ACT Coordinating Office is based with the World Council of Churches (WCC) and The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) in Switzerland. ACT appeal LAPE71 2 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims
LWR is planning to assist 900 families in the districts of Arma, Aurahuá, and Chupamarca in the province of Castrovirreyna, with activities to restore health and living condition, in particular by building temporary shelters for 200 families, rebuilding 3,000 meters irrigation canals and installing 3 irrigation systems. LWR will assist 30 local promoters (both men and women) in post-trauma treatment and provide professional accompaniment to 550 families.
DIACONÍA proposes assistance in the districts of Huangascar, Viñac and Madeán providing (i) construction of 200 multipurpose shelters for families and strengthen the capacity of 400 households to build improved safe and healthy houses; (ii) restoration of 3,500 meters of irrigation canals; (iii) support to 1,500 people in the recovery from post-traumatic stress.
PDA, together with its local implementing partner Manos Unidas contra la Pobreza, plans to assist 150 families in the community of San Benito, Chincha, with provision and maintenance of a water supply system and the installation of an alternative drainage system.
PREDES plans to intervene together with its implementing member KAIROS in the provinces of Chincha and Pisco. They will build some 70 modules of safe and healthy quincha (local construction material) homes and assist the population with construction and maintenance of 420 other modules; they will provide mental health support to 150 families through trained promoters; and provide training to 20 promoters for psycho social care and carry out a diagnosis of some 500 affected people; they will also provide capacity training in management, planning and political advocacy for district and local authorities, communities and 30 volunteers.

John Nduna Director, ACT Co-ordinating Office ACT appeal LAPE71 4 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION
On August 15, 2007, at 6:41 p.m. (23.41 GMT) an earthquake of a magnitude of 7.0 on the Richter scale occurred 62 kilometers from the city of Pisco, and 262 kilometers to the south of Lima, Peru.
The earthquake affected the southwestern part of Lima, on the west coast, along a stretch of 186 kilometers long and 70 kilometers wide, covering an area of approximately 13,000 square kilometers. The hardest hit regions were Ica (provinces of Pisco, Ica, and Chincha), Lima (provinces of Cañete and Yauyos) and Huancavelica (provinces of Huaytará and Castrovirreyna).
Approximately 53,000 homes were destroyed and around 22,000 homes were affected, as well as schools, hospitals and health centers. Likewise, 20 kilometers of irrigation canals were destroyed (11 kilometers in Castrovirreyna and 9 in Huaytará), and approximately 44 kilometers of canals were affected. 33 educational centers are reported to have collapsed.
During the days following the earthquake, the main roads were cut off, blocking traffic and slowing the arrival of humanitarian aid and the evacuation of those wounded and generating both panic and fear.
The earthquake resulted in 540 deaths, some 4,200 injuries, 52,000 victims and close to 200,000 persons affected.

This Table is official although it does not provide detailed on each affected zone.
ACT appeal LAPE71 5 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims Electricity: The earthquake caused the outage of electric power, contributing to further damages. This service is being gradually restored. In the province of Castrovirreyna the impact of the outage affected only those who are provided with the service. Approximately 50% of the population have no electricity at all.
Water and Drainage: The entire water and drainage system collapsed in the coastal cities. This was one of the most critical aspects for the population in the days following the earthquake. The magnitude of this impact in the rural areas like Castrovirreyna has not been as great as in the cities on the coast, since most of the smaller communities lack these services.
Health Infrastructure: Several hospitals and health centers collapsed in the disaster zones. This prevented the wounded from receiving immediate medical attention. According to the reconstruction plans, the hospitals and health centers are considered priorities. In Castrovirreyna 12 health centers collapsed and 24 are seriously damaged.
Educational system: This system practically collapsed in the entire disaster zone. During recent weeks classes have slowly been restarting, although the educational centers have yet to be rebuilt. In the rural areas, teachers and parents have fitted precarious areas for restarting activities. In Castrovirreyna over 30 educational centers collapsed.
Communications: Telephone communications also collapsed with the earthquake and were only restored many hours later. In the rural areas, the scarce public telephone system was also affected. Access routes were cut off along numerous stretches and it was over a week before some communities, mainly rural ones, had their communications restored.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITUATION IN THE AREA OF THE PROPOSED RESPONSE
Current situation in the area of the project
The disaster caused by the earthquake has completely altered the life of the population in the province of Castrovirreyna. Families whose homes collapsed or were damaged are sharing houses with other families. During the first weeks following the earthquake, humanitarian aid hoped to alleviate food and shelter needs. Nevertheless, this was difficult delayed due to the tremendous difficulties in reaching the affected communities since access by road was very difficult. It is important to mention that Castrovirreyna is a fundamentally rural territory, with scattered villages. The predominant economic activities are agriculture and cattle raising carried out in small plots where soils are very low in fertility and with scarce water.
Temporary shelters were useful during the first weeks. However, given the weather conditions in the Andes, starting as of October and November the rains could cause greater problems if the families do not find more permanent shelter.
The lack of local leadership to organize the administration of humanitarian aid is being rapidly overcome with the increasing prominence of the district and provincial governments. A example of this is the initiative undertaken by the Municipality of Castrovirreyna to plan the reconstruction process using international cooperation and institutions of the State sector to coordinate and even increase the efficiency of public and private investment for reconstruction.
Impact on human lives
According to reports of the National Institute of Civil Defense, the earthquake left a toll of 590 deaths and over 300 persons missing. The impact of the earthquake in the life of the population of these provinces is multidimensional. Many people lost their homes or the homes have been rendered completely uninhabitable, which has impoverished them even more. On the other hand, the collapse of the irrigation canals, intakes and all other productive infrastructure seriously impacts the economy and the sustenance of the families. On the educational side, a significant number of schools having been damaged, the development of the school calendar is altered, with a negative repercussion on the quality of the service rendered by the State, which already presented significant structural deficiencies.
Regarding mental health, Huancavelica presents a highly worrying scenario since its population has undergone previous recent disasters, including the decade of conflict that left a dramatic balance of deaths and persons missing and the frosts in February of this year that resulted in over 18 million dollars in crop losses.
Description of damages in the area of the project
In Huancavelica, 4,394 families were affected. The provinces of Castrovirreyna and Huaytará were the hardest hit. Of the two, as shown in Table 3, the most affected was Castrovirreyna, where the homes of 2,932 families collapsed and are uninhabitable and 2,547 were seriously affected. In like manner, more than 20 kilometers of irrigation canals were destroyed and 44 kilometers were affected. Lastly, the entire population of these provinces was severely affected by post-traumatic stress, which will have repercussions in the mental health of the adults and children of this region.

For the population of Huancavelica this disaster added to that of the frosts that occurred last February and impoverished this population even more. Also, thousands of families of these and other provinces of Huancavelica have yet to recover from the political violence of the 80’s and 90’s.
In February this year, an unusual occurance of frost caused considerable losses in the production of potato, maize, broad beans, peas and other Andean tubers that are the base of nutrition of this population. This disaster had an enormous negative impact on the food and seed provisions for the upcoming 2007-2008 agricultural campaign. It is estimated that the population of Huancavelica suffered losses in the range of 17 million dollars. This is devastating for a fundamentally peasant population, ranging from poor to extremely poor (Quechua speaking, with high levels of illiteracy and low level of access to basic services), with areas of land of less than three hectares, and of very poor yield and quality.
According to reports of the Huancavelica Regional Bureau of Agriculture and the Regional Civil Defense Committee, it is calculated that in Huancavelica some 40,100 families (200,550 persons) were affected; and approximately 22,306 hectares of crops were lost (33%) and over 9,782 has were affected (14%).

The earthquake of August 15 shows the high vulnerability of millions of urban and rural families in the country as an expression of the poverty and exclusion in which they live and has made evident the need for improving the basic life conditions of the population, while at the same time generating opportunities of development beyond responses of immediate nature.
The number of homes damaged in the districts of project intervention is 5,774 homes destroyed and 2,251 homes affected. It should be pointed out however that according to own verification and to the opinion of experts, the numbers released by the Peruvian government are insufficient and do not reflect the real magnitude of the damages caused by the earthquake. The former is due to the scarce Civil Defense Committees that are operating in the zone and to the difficulty gathering information.
ACT appeal LAPE71 9 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims Security situation in the area of the project
In the districts prioritized for this project there are no problems of great significance in road communication as the roads and highways have already been restored. Telephone communications, although they did fail during the first days after the earthquake, have been restored. Likewise in the intervention zones there are no security problems such as actions of banditry and pillage. In general terms no difficulties are foreseen for the persons or materials of the project to access the emergency zones.
Locations that will be receiving emergency assistance
The project will be carried out in the province of Castrovirreyna, in the intermediate and high basin of the San Juan river (formed by the micro basins of the San Juan and Armas tributary rivers) where the following districts are located: Villa Arma (5 communities and 158 families), Aurahua (16 communities and 956 families), Chupamarca (6 communities and 195 families), Tantará (8 communities and 322 families) y Huamatambo (6 communities and 195 families). The city of Chincha is located in the lower part of the basin that belongs to the department of Ica on the Peruvian coast.
The San Juan basin constitutes a space of the Andes with the coast. Historically, the basin comprised the “mercury route” across which the colonial system carried the mercury (key factor of the mining economy during the colony) to the gold and silver mines of Potosí in Bolivia and Potosí in Mexico and other intermediate destinations.
The average family, of Quechua origin, is made up of six members that live in houses built of materials from the area, mainly adobe (mud bricks dried in the sun) and lack all basic services (water, drainage, electricity). These families live in small villages and are organized in peasant communities.
The predominant activities are agriculture and cattle raising that are carried out in small plots of land (scattered and of less than three hectares) mainly for own consumption. The technological deficit in resource management, scarcity of water and low capacities for risk management in disasters, result in very limited productive standards not allowing the people to establish favorable commercial relations with the markets on the coast (Chincha, Ica and Pisco), four to five hours away.
This population is highly vulnerable due to its extreme poverty (60% have incomes below one dollar) and isolation because of the bad condition of their roads, dirt roads which worsen during the rainy season. Apart from the school, there is no other State presence.
Cooperation in the area affected by the earthquake
Immediately after the earthquake diverse cooperation institutions, governments, local and international NGOs and entities of the public and private sectors contributed humanitarian aid. The solidarity of the population in general has been unprecedented in Peru. Thousands of people have helped mainly with food and clothing for the victims and affected. Unfortunately this was concentrated mostly in the areas of easiest access.
The rural areas like the province of Castrovirreyna and its thirteen districts, initially received very little humanitarian aid. But, as the access by road and communications began to be restored these also began to receive humanitarian aid.
It is registered that to date Medicos Mundo of Spain and France, CARE, Caritas, Spanish Cooperation and LWR are carrying out humanitarian aid actions in Castrovirreyna and have commitments with the reconstruction of the province.
With the objective of proposing a coordinated reconstruction plan to avoid duplicity of actions and with the outlook of rendering public and private investment more efficient, the Mayor of the Provincial Municipality of Castrovirreyna, with the accompaniment of LWR, organized international cooperation. This initiative, unprecedented in the areas affected by the earthquake, is a good opportunity for developing coordinated actions during reconstruction.

Selection criteria
The beneficiaries are rural families, Quechua speaking, with high levels of illiteracy and severe lack of basic services. They are dedicated to small agricultural production based on small plots of less than three hectares, and with very poor technologies and agricultural and cattle production yields.
The criteria to be applied will be: victims and/or affected families, level of damage, territorial centralization of the families and selection with social participation and of the community and municipal authorities.
V. PROPOSED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION
The following components will be carried out with the organized population of the districts:
a) Construction of temporary shelters for family households and schools. The project will promote the rapid construction of temporary households to help shelter families during the rainy season (September through April). In a second stage, the project will develop actions to create and strengthen local capabilities for the reconstruction of safe and healthy homes and schools. b) Reconstruction of irrigation canals and installation of modern irrigation systems. In this component the project will rebuild irrigation canals and set up a sprinkler system. Also, the project will provide technical assistence and training. c) Support toward the recovery from post-traumatic stress. Local promoters will be trained and prepared to accompany the recovery process with children and adult men and women. The UNICEF Manual will be used for children as well as the Guide on “Psychosocial service based on the community” prepared by the Church of Sweden. Training activities for this have been developed.
The project anticipates to carry out each component with a local partner. The component associated with the construction of temporary shelters will be undertaken by the CENDICO Huancavelica organization; the component associated with the reconstruction of canals and installation of modern irrigation will be undertaken by San Javier, and the mental health component will be assumed by EDUCA. ACT appeal LAPE71 11 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims

Methodology of the project
Lutheran World Relief and its local partners, San Javier, CEDINCO and EDUCA will implement the project using approaches of risk management in disasters, equity of gender and basic human rights.
Lutheran World Relief will accompany the entire process of project implementation with a basic team made up of one coordinator and the advice of a specialist in issues of mental health and one specialist in rural housing. To facilitate this process, a permanent work team will be set up between LWR and its partners that will allow the execution of the project in a coordinated effort.
ACT appeal LAPE71 12 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims The execution of the project is based on the knowledge of the local partners as regards the territory where the project will be carried out and on the good relations established between them and the local population and their local governments.
Likewise, the execution of the project is based on the experience of each of the partners in issues of mental health, reconstruction and construction of canals and irrigation systems, and the installation of temporary shelters.
Prior to initiating the project, a workshop will be conducted to draw up the operating plan for the 12-month term where the indicators and results will be decided.
LWR will have a project coordinator established in the area of the project with support of the manager of the Peru Program from the city of Lima. The LWR headquarters in Baltimore in turn will provide support for the good management of the project.
For the achievement of Objective 1, family groups will be organized for the construction of the shelters. The coordinator of the respective partner will oversee the execution of the construction works.
For the achievement of Objective 2, meetings will be organized with the irrigation groups to ensure the participation of labor for the work at each canal and installation of the modern irrigation systems. The coordinator of the respective partner will supervise the execution of the construction works.
For the achievement of Objective 3, the municipality, the community and schools will take part in the selection of the promoters and draw up the selection criteria. The LWR representative expert in the issue will participate in this process. Preference will be given to teachers and persons with good testimony in the community. An evaluation will be made of the families determined to be at greatest risk, possibly women headed households, families with small children. For purposes of the evaluation, permanent records will be prepared.
The LWR partners and the provincial municipalities will commit to ensure compliance with the activities and the objectives proposed. LWR will accompany this process ensuring that the SPHERE standards for humanitarian response be strictly complied with. LWR will provide the project leaders with the SPHERE manual and will implement work meetings for its analysis.

Planning presumptions, limitations and designation of priorities
Coordination is occurring with the district municipality, Regional Government, leaders and cooperation institutions to design a joint plan for the reconstruction that may allow for creating synergies and efficient use of resources.
In the area of the project there are no particular risk conditions that may complicate or prevent its development. The area is accessible by land although the roads could be in a poor state.
Feasibility/ Sustainability
Factors that contribute to the feasibility of the proposal:
a) Availability of local governments to promote consensus as regards the reconstruction. Current leadership of the Castrovirreyna provincial municipality to guide the reconstruction process with development. b) High level of commitment and good relations of partners with the regional government and local governments. c) Partners with experience in matters of construction of productive infrastructure and temporary shelters and in mental health. d) Partners with very good skills in the construction of safe and healthy homes, but also in matters associated with the recovery of the mental health of the population affected by the earthquake. e) The existence of an initiative to declare the “Mercury Route” as Patrimony of Mankind, which involves the whole of the San Juan river basin, the historical route of the mercury trade that was produced by the Santa Barbara Mine of Huancavelica and constituted the key “factor” of the regional economy during the Colony. f) Important coordination between partners and the 13 district municipal governments and the provincial municipal government. There also exists coordination with the Huancavelica regional government.
Learning expectations
• Establish links between reconstruction and development strategies in a context of basins. • Strengthening of strategies of political incidence. • Public-private coordination for the reconstruction and the reduction of vulnerabilities of areas affected by the disaster. • Strategies to improve the food security and the reduction of vulnerabilities in the face of disaster. • Territorial development in the watershed and municipal association. • Reassert the results of a long experience in the ecological treatment of human waste. • Strengthen the ecumenical spirit in the context of intervention.
In the event that the funds are insufficient, the project will prioritize two issues:
ACT appeal LAPE71 14 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims a) Reconstruction of irrigation canals and installation of modern irrigation systems. For LWR and its partners, the high vulnerability of the families in this region is explained by the extreme poverty. To improve the situation requires actions to recover and increase agricultural production, to sustain the nutritional status and the income of families. b) Support to the recovery from post-traumatic stress. This is a crucial issue in the processes of recovery. The project considers that the losses that the people have suffered in the earthquake go far beyond the housing, food and clothing. The people have lost much more than that, they have lost security, wellbeing, the sense of normality and have acquired sustained stress that disrupts their daily activities and affects their decisions. We consider that in the long term this stress affects the immune system in a sustained manner and produces diverse illnesses.
Implementation schedule:
The implementation will end November 30, 2008.

LWR will hire, on a part time basis, a consultant experienced in financial monitoring who will accompany the local partners in the management of the financial resources.
VII. MONITORING, REPORTING AND EVALUATIONS
LWR will conduct monitoring of the project by way of its Coordinator.
LWR will share on a regular basis information on the progress and results of its work as a manner of inter- learning and collective feedback in the framework of ACT Peru.
LWR will regularly provide ACT International with information on the developments of the project. Reports will be submitted by LWR from its Headquarters in Baltimore in line with the established reporting schedule.
Interim narrative and financial reports to be due to the ACT CO no later than 30 June 2008, or one months within the mid-term of the appeal implementation.
Final narrative and financial reports to be due to the ACT CO no later than 31 July 2009, or two months after the completion date.
Audit report to be due to the ACT CO no later than 28 February 2009, or three month after the end of the implementation.
VIII. COORDINATION
LWR has been building a constructive relationship with the local governments in the perspective that the municipalities carry out the reconstruction processes. Through the planning and coordination LWR accompanied the provincial municipality of Castrovirreyna to an important work meeting with international cooperation to present the plan on provincial reconstruction and set a precedent of coordination for the reconstruction.
This response will continue this trend of international cooperation: Coordination with local NGOs and project financed by the government will prevent duplicating actions, improve investments and promote the participation of the civil society.

DIACONÍA Asociación Evangélica Luterana de Ayuda para el Desarrollo Comunal
II. IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER & PARTNER INFORMATION
ACT Member
DIACONIA is the social branch of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Peru established as non-profit organization.
Although it is an independent organization, its work is based on the faith postulates of the church and its diakonia action. It works under agreement with the Lutheran World Federation, department of World Service.
Its work is oriented to support the struggle against poverty through the proposal of sustainable development and educational improvement, mainly in the rural Andean areas.
Mission: The faith in Christ motivates the members and collaborators of DIACONIA to apply all their virtues toward sowing the hope for a new full life, material and spiritual alike, of the individual persons as well as of the community in which they live, on a basis of social justice and the awareness of God’s creation: · Opting for the marginalized and isolated social sectors without distinction of race, nationality, religion, gender or political convictions. · Sharing resources and knowledge as practice of loving his neighbor. · Acting competently and with solidarity in emergency situations and natural disasters.
DIACONIA initiated its actions as the Department of Community Development of the Lutheran Church in Peru, to support the victims of the 1970 earthquake in Yungay – Ancash, with help of the World Service Department of the Lutheran World Federation. The initial restoration activities led to middle-term and long-term rural development projects. With the increasing social and development work within the Church, DIACONIA, Asociación Evangélica Luterana de Ayuda para el Desarrollo Comunal, was founded in 1983, as an independent organization, duly established and registered in accordance with the Peruvian laws.
It has over 30 years of experience in rural development projects in Andean areas. Together with the Andean populations, it has been implementing an agro-ecological proposal with the objective of giving sustainability to development proposal.
The institution implements projects on health, food and nutrition, education, infrastructure, agricultural production, reforestation and environmental management, targeted at social actors (families and civil society), economic actors through a sectorial approach (mainly the agricultural: market, organization and training) and political actors (local government). Its activities prioritize citizen participation, offering new possibilities of intervention to the actors in instances created by the Central and Regional Government.
Its current area of work are the provinces of Santa Cruz (Cajamarca), Huamalíes (Huánuco) and Casma and Huaraz (Ancash).
DIACONIA is currently one of the founding and coordinating institutions of the ACT Peru Mechanism; it is therefore knowledgeable and aware of ACT principles, of the Humanitarian Code of Conduct and of the wish to work in accordance with the SPHERE standards. With regard to emergencies, the more recent interventions have been: 1) in 2004-2005 in the province of Andahuaylas, Apurimac Region (southern highlands of Peru), due to the cold front, the intervention was made of vaccination campaigns, demonstrative pastures, and strengthening of veterinarian promoters; 2) the recent earthquake of August 15, this year, with ACT appeal LAPE71 19 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims multipurpose shelters, community latrines, tool kits, large containers for storing water and educational kits for the psychosocial aid carried out in the annex of San Benito, province of Chincha, Ica Region, Peru.
Implementing partners:
DIACONÍA, as member of the ACT Peru Mechanism, will be the sole implementing agency of this proposal. On the other hand, contact and preliminary coordination has been made with the relevant local authorities (mayors), who, according to law, are the ones who preside over the Civil Defense District Committees. DIACONÍA will work in conjunction with the Civil Defense District Committees of Madeán, Viñac and Huangascar districts.
III. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITUATION IN THE AREA OF THE PROPOSED RESPONSE
Current situation in the area of the proposed response
The districts targeted by the project are 3: Huangascar, Madeán and Viñac, belonging to the Province of Yauyos, where 99.9% of the homes are built of adobe, wood (floors, boards for roofs, windows) and corrugated metal roofs. They usually have two floors, no columns, with an average area of 9 x 5 m, with only one room per floor which is divided with plastic or any other material to make two rooms (living room and bedroom). The kitchen is built separately, is of only one floor and small in surface.
The majority of homes suffered cracks along the corners of the walls, others were destroyed (over 70 % of the houses are damaged).
The drinking water systems also suffered damage in the main pipes. Other significant damages have been identified in school buildings, health centers, churches and other religious institutions, municipal and community buildings, sports installations and police stations. The cattle was also affected and crops have been lost (30 ha. in Huancaya); numerous reservoirs were destroyed or damaged in various localities; and in the districts of Huangascar, Madeán and Viñac, the water intakes have been destroyed or collapsed (post earthquake report by Diaconía on the province of Yauyos) and 90% of the irrigation canals affected, the highways have already been restored. Large parts of the water systems suffered damage. The majority of irrigation canals that are constructed on the open soil have been buried, in some areas concrete canals have cracked. The people of the community have started restoring the canals by way of community work, but require of support.
Many families are sleeping in tents that are not adequate for the cold regions. For this reason the families returned to their homes, with the risk of losing their lives due to possible collapses. These families are preparing their meals in ollas comunes (community kitchens) and as a result of the harsh conditions at present the number of children with health problems has increased.
Impact on human lives in the area of the proposed response In the district of Huangascar, a 9-year old boy died buried under a wall, while two adults suffered the same misfortune; fortunately our field team was able to confirm that no more human lives had been lost (see table Nº 2); nevertheless, it is important to mention that additional to the aforementioned material losses, the population has been seriously affected by post traumatic stress, which has repercussions in the psychosocial behavior of both adults and children. Psycho-social attention will be given high priority in the area, as it contributes to restore the lost balance.
Table Nº 2: Damage caused by the earthquake of August 15 in the districts to intervene (1) Information provided by ITDG (Practical solutions for poverty) (2) Field report by Diaconia and of local authorities
So far, different government agencies are making efforts to collect more specific information: Coordination and work schedules have been established to help the Civil Defense to consolidate information and allow to perform efficiently and effectively and to avoid duplication of emergency and reconstruction work. Description of damages in the area of the proposed response ACT appeal LAPE71 20 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims Madeán District Report on damages caused by the earthquake 1.- Homes: built of adobe. Damages: Collapsed or uninhabitable houses: 135; Houses with cracked walls: 159 The municipality has organized the victims in groups to help each other to rebuild their homes, in exchange for their work they receive donated food or clothing. 2.- Piped water system: The district capital is provided with piped water and drainage while the villages only have piped water. The main pipe was not effected. 3.- Damaged irrigation canals: 22 canals have been damage to a length of 2,000 meters. 4.- Other damages: The district’s catholic church, which was demolished with the participation of the community.

66 families sleep in tents but due to the excessive cold weather many who have small children returned to their homes risking their lives as the houses are about to collapse. These families prepare their meals in community kitchen. There are children who suffer from health problems. 2.- Piped water system: The district capital is provided with piped water and drainage while the annexes only have piped water.. The main pipe line of the district capital was not damaged. The pipe line of the community of Apurí was damaged over a stretch of 100 m of galvanized pipe. These have been temporarily repaired, water is leaking. Likewise, 12 pressure releasers have cracked and require cement to be repaired. 3.- Damaged irrigation canals: The whole of the district has 50 irrigation canals, 22 of which are severely damaged. It is estimated that these canals have been damaged for a total length of 2,000 mts. 4.- Other damages: the district’s catholic church, the kindergarten and the school. I. Huangascar District Report on damage caused by the earthquake 1.- Home: of adobe Damages: Collapsed or uninhabitable houses: 127 3 dead, 30 injured, 45 victims and 336 affected 2.- Potable water network: Catchment affected. Loss of springs at the catchments of Pijo, Huancor and Vincullay. At the Chunalla catchment, the water canal, the only source of supply, was cut off . 3.- Damaged irrigation canals: 4 canals affected (290 mts.), 3 canals destroyed (1,300 mts.). Collapse of the reservoir of the Chiche canal. 4.- Other damages: 1 primary school affected, 1 kindergarten and 1 school. Health center affected. Police station affected. The mayor and inspectors, distributed aid in the villages. ACT appeal LAPE71 21 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims
Although the population has carried out actions to reduce the damages of the earthquake these are insufficient and there still remains much to be done as regards the organization and recovery of the population’s daily activities. They have received clothes, blankets and food but the intervention of the aid has been temporary and the greatest concern lies in the reconstruction of their homes and psychosocial recovery. There is a pressing need to initiate the reconstruction as the rainy season is quite close. It has been coordinated with the population that the proto type of temporary shelter will serve as initial part of the future improved houses INDESI is providing funds and dump trucks to the district municipalities to clear the debris of the destroyed houses.
Security situation in the area of the project The roads in great part connect the annexes with their districts and these in turn with the province of Cañete and Lima. Access to the upper regions is being improved as these were affected more than the lower areas.
As regards the behavior of the population, although they ask for support, the situation of despair has decreased. The people have started to organize themselves and to rebuild their homes with the adobes from the debris. This is very dangerous as they build without sufficient technical know-how.
Location of the proposed response DIACONIA proposes to support the most vulnerable three districts in the province of Yauyos: Huangascar, Viñac and Madeán, districts belonging to the lower basin of the Huangascar river, which is located on average over 2,000 meters above see level. The districts are significantly affected by the earthquake. The governement was not in the position to provide assistance to the districts and the population is highly vulnerable. DIACONÍA, with its background in basin management, aims to include these localities in future development operations to enhance the living standard of the population. Agriculture and cattle raising are complementary activities in this area, depending on the altitude where the activity is carried out; at lower altitude agriculture is the main activity, at higher altitude, cattle raising. Main crops are maize, pumpkin, beans, potatoes, peas, barley, and wheat. In cattle raising, the main species are cows, followed by sheep, alpaca and vicuña. Production levels in the agricultural activity are below the national average (3 t/milk/day/cow, 8 kg. of carcass/ 4-year old ovine, 5 MT of potato/Ha, 2.8 MT of broad beans/ Ha.).
The journey, from Lima to the districts takes approximately 6 to 7 hours on the South Pan American Highway by bus, through Cañete, Lunahuaná and Zúñiga.

The government has set up programs through INDECI (National Institute of Civil Defense), the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education, although insufficiently if considering that great part of the aid is centered in the Ica Region; likewise, PRONAMACHCS (National Program for the Management of Hydrographic Basins and Soil Preservation), PRONAA (National Program of Food Assistance).
Cáritas, through its provincial parish and its Cañete and Yauyos Dioceses, has assisted the area only in a limited manner, focusing the intervention on the province of Cañete. Actually, the districts in which DIACONÍA plans to operate have not been covered in a significant manner. The population has received only some food, clothing and beds.
IV. TARGETED BENEFICIARIES

Selection criteria The selection of the areas and of the beneficiaries is based on the following criteria: • Rural areas significantly damaged by the earthquake • Areas of extreme poverty and vulnerability • Neglected zones, with no assistance from the government • Only partly, insufficient coverage through other organizations • Areas that meet the requirements for future development assistance
The targeted rural families will be those whose houses are in ruins, priority will be given to women headed households (widows and single mothers). In the case of psychosocial assistance, children and adults will be targeted, in line with assessed needs. The assistance will be based on the principles of the Humanitarian Charta.
V. PROPOSED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE AND IMPLEMENTATION
Goal Contribute to conditions for a normal and dignified life of the people of the districts of Huangascar, Madeán and Viñac, in the province of Yauyos, Lima Region – Peru, affected by the earthquake.
Objective The affected population will be able to cope with daily activities, will have increased capacities to construct their rural houses considerably reducing their vulnerability, and will have improved mental health.
Indicator of achievement of the objective: at least 40% of the population enjoy mental health, performing their activities in a normal manner and with the knowledge and use of the technical standards for rural construction. This indicator is based on the number of population in the project area, on distance and transport facilities between localities, length of implementation, possible outreach of the 40 promoters to be trained.
Specific objectives
• Provide the communities with shelters and homes • Reestablish the water supply for irrigation • Provide the population with skills in earth quake resistant construction • Improve mental health
The activities programmed for each of the established objectives are presented in the following table and the indicators per result to be obtained on completion of the project are provided in table N° 5.

Implementation methodology
1.1 The shelters have protected the families from the cold and the rain
- Following the preliminary coordination with the 3 district mayors in the setting of the project and the inspection visit to the field (post disaster), comprehensive coordination will be arranged to determine the location of the beneficiaries and the plans for the urgent construction of the shelters. The DIACONIA technical Team, directed by the coordinator, will be in charge of the regular coordination meetings throughout the course of the project.
ACT appeal LAPE71 25 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims - Strengthen Local Civil Defense Committees. A Civil Defense Committee Is foreseen in all districts, presided by the Mayors and Deputy Mayors. Since this has not yet taken place, the technical coordinator and the technical adviser will advocate to ensure that the civil defense committees fulfills their functions according to law. The coordinator will organize trainings which will include topics on relevant laws, adequate organization of the committee, risk identification, identification and marking of safe zones and escape routes, and training on the disaster preparedness and response, These trainings, in 3 workshops, will be carried out from the second to the eighth month.
- Verification of registers and family records of participants per community and district will take place after the assessment of the damages and will be carried out in coordination with the local authorities and the population itself. The social promoter and local promoters will be in charge of this task.
- Verification of the design of shelters and applicability in each location. The technical advisor will verify the design of the shelter that will serve as base for the new earth quake resistant construction, which includes verification of soil conditions and the quality of local materials. The advisor will supervise the construction process and the expenses of the different components of the project and will determine the necessary corrections for the achievement of the deadlines established for the construction.
- Purchase of construction material. The population supplies local materials and prepares improved adobes with the support by local promoters. Other material is purchased by the project in Lima or Cañete, and transported to the area by truck. The material will be delivered according to the progress of the works.
- Construction of shelters during community work and support of community kitchen or food for work. The construction process is carried out in accordance with the attached document where the process and the technical proposal are described.
1.2 The models of improved rural homes have facilitated the learning of regulated construction
- Coordination with local governments and communities for the construction of 9 models of dwelling and selection of the beneficiary families. This coordination is carried out entirely at community meetings in order to achieve the agreement coordinated for.
- Design of technical document of improved rural homes (safe and healthy) is task of the technical adviser. The design will include the new regulations on adobe constructions which at present is being worked on at the Ministry of Housing.
- Construction of the proto types of improved rural homes. Trained personnel such as the foremen will be contracted for the construction of the proto type houses. The construction itself will be done by the community with support by the local promoters.
1.3 The restored canals have allowed for agricultural production
- Organization and training to irrigation committees. The irrigation committees are relatively solid organizations in the rural areas. It is easy to meet with them and plan the restoration work. The foremen will be in charge of the training that will be carried out during the reconstruction process itself.
- The technical adviser will conduct the damage assessment and prepare the required technical document and will, with the support of the local promoters and community authorities, appraise the water supply.
- The technical adviser will elaborate of the technical document for the affected zone and be in charge of the coordination with the municipalities. ACT appeal LAPE71 26 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims
- DIACONIA logistics will be in charge of delivering the material for the reconstruction of the affected canals.
- The canals will need to be reconstructed before the rains start.
2.1 The training has enabled the construction of improved and healthy rural homes
- Training workshops: the following workshops will be held on training in construction:
- One workshop for authorities on construction regulations. The homes destroyed by the earthquake were built of adobe with insufficiently tested traditional technologies. The houses were built by the owners without building permits which have not been required. Therefore, a workshop will be held for the authorities on earth quake resistent construction, on regulations to be introduced and currently discussed at the level of Ministry. Another subject will be the registry of land ownership.
- 12 workshops for the construction of the proto types of improved rural housing (4 in each district). The workshops will be carried out both on theoretical and practical issues while the construction is being carried out. The first workshop will deal with the design of the proto type house and the specific needs of the population will be coordinated.
- In subsequent workshops the same construction process will be discussed. Materials made by DIACONIA will be used.

Methodology of the project implementation
In the districts of Huangascar, Viñac and Madeán, DIACONÍA will carry out participative and coordinated actions with the organized affected population. DIAKONIA will also advocate for the population with the district municipality, the provincial government of Lima, the regional government of Lima and the government.
The following components will be carried out with the organized population of these three districts:
a) Construction of 200 multipurpose shelters for family housing. The project will promote in an initial stage, the rapid construction of multipurpose modules that will allow solve the problem of shelter of the families during the rainy season (September-April) and comprise a first part of the future ACT appeal LAPE71 28 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims household; in a second stage, the development of actions to create and strengthen local capabilities in 400 heads of family for the definitive reconstruction of improved safe and healthy rural homes, using as example the construction of 9 improved rural proto type homes.
b) Restoration of 3,500 meters of irrigation canals that will benefit an average 700 families.
c) Support to 1,500 people in the recovery from post-traumatic stress. 40 local promoters will be trained and prepared to accompany the recovery process with children and adults, men and women. The Guide on “Psychosocial service based on the community” prepared by the Church of Sweden will be used which also served for the training of the psychologist engaged in this project.
The construction of the proto types of improved rural housing will be based on the new regulations for construction in adobe as required by the (forthcoming) regulation of the Ministry of Housing and Construction.
According to law, the district mayors are the presidents of the Civil Defense Committees of their districts and they are the ones responsible for the emergency.
In a first instance, the project activities are coordinated with the district majors and presidents of the peasant communities. In each district a reconstruction commission will formed to conduct the process of construction regulation, to ensure that building will be prepared according to the earth quake resistant techniques. This coordination becomes very important considering the proximity of the rainy season and the difficulty in preparing resistant adobes as they take 1 month to dry. The selection of the families and locations of the proto type houses will be determined at community meetings and will take into account the above mentioned priority criteria.
The psychosocial activities are coordinated in a similar manner and take into consideration the Yauyos Local Education Management Unit (Unidad de Gestión Educativa Local, UGEL), and local offices of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health. The selection of the persons to be trained as community promoters of psychosocial assistance will be done at community meetings.

Planning of presumptions, limitations and designation of priorities
The project may fail to achieve the expected results due to:
the disruption of social peace within the area of the project funds not available on time low funding of the appeal: if the appeal is not fully covered, DIAKONIA would ask the municipal authorities to cover the priority activities with public funds and other institutions operating in the zone to complement actions. changes of staff.
Implementation schedule The implementation of the appeal will last until 30 November 2008 Months 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Preparatory activities Establishment of the Project work team Drawing up of the detailed Work Plan Preparation of material on feasibility of the Project Base Line document

Sustainability The sustainability is supported in the adoption of the proposal by part of the population, as it is of a participating nature, strengthened by the development of its own capacities and by the awareness of the district municipal authorities, which will be interpreted as an ally of a normative and possibly economic nature.
Exit strategy In the selection of this emergency zone for the intervention by part of DIACONIA, consideration was given to the criteria of continuing the task with development programs (it is an area of extreme poverty, high rate of infant malnutrition, resources and possibilities of tying down development processes). It is not being contemplated as a withdrawal but rather as an open door for action in the area (of the Huangascar river basin) by way of comprehensive development projects and contributing that the people attain conditions of a dignified life.
VI. ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE
Administration and Finance The project is inserted in the administrative organization and structure of DIACONIA. In the accounting an individual budgetary account is allocated to the emergency Project. All acquisitions are made in the capital (Lima) in accordance with the ruling guidelines of DIACONIA (purchase order, its approval, estimates, approval of the supplier, request and payment by check. Purchases over 1,000.00 require three estimates. The transfer of the material is by truck, chartered and paid in Lima. All payments are made by check, prior submittal of the invoice or voucher by part of the supplier. Salary payments to personnel are made directly through their bank accounts. All checks require of two signatures. The institution keeps to main bank accounts: one in foreign currency for the remittances from abroad and one in local currency for financial management of the institution. The persons empowered to sign are the president, the vice-president, the treasurer and pro-treasurer of the Board of Directors of our institution.
In the work zone a space is being sought for the office and storage of materials. Payments in the emergency zone are made in cash which are managed through the “petty cash”. The person in charge requests the funds for the payment of office rental, local transport, etc- These funds are deposited to his account and he can withdraw them from the nearest bank in the city of Cañete. The workers receive a sum in cash to cover their fare and per diem expenses, prior request for funds. At the end of the month they present their expense report ACT appeal LAPE71 32 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims with the supporting payment slips or income statements according to the ruling official requirements and receive the corresponding reimbursement.
DIACONIA has an internal control system. An independent auditor carries out a quarterly internal report and reports directly to the Board of Directors. He also verifies the use of construction material in the field. The institutional audit is performed annually at the close of the financial year (December 31). This project will be audited along with the institutional audit.
VII. MONITORING, REPORTING & EVALUATION
The DIACONIA project coordinator is in charge of supervising the execution of the project for this he receives at the end of each month a report in writing on the progress of the activities together with the expense settlement. Every two months he makes a monitoring visit to the zone to verify the development of the programmed activities.
The evaluation of the global progress is performed in coordination with the ACT Peru Mechanism by way of visits to the zone by part of the project coordinator, the DIACONIA director and the representative of an ACT member organization.
The person in charge of preparing the narrative reports is the project coordinator. The financial reports are in charge of the finance officer who compares the expenses with the execution. Prior to submitting the reports, both persons verify the consistency of their reports.
Interim narrative and financial reports to be due to the ACT CO no later than 30 June 2008, or one months within the mid-term of the appeal implementation.
Final narrative and financial reports to be due to the ACT CO no later than 31 July 2009, or two months after the completion date.
Audit report to be due to the ACT CO no later than 28 February 2009, or three month after the end of the implementation.
VIII. COORDINATION
The presentation of this application has been coordinated with the district members who in their functions assume the responsibility of the emergency in their districts, as well as with the representative of the National Institution of Civil Defense (INDECI) of the province of Yauyos and the Coordination Table for the Fight against Poverty that was established in Yauyos.
With them and with the presidents of the rural communities, coordination is continuous.
The psychosocial activities are coordinated in a first instance with the district authorities, their representatives in the annexes and the Unidad de Gestión Educativa Local (UGEL) of Yauyos, local agencies of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health.
Coordination with other ACT members
The ACT Mechanism meets regularly every three months. In the case of this earthquake emergency the meetings are much more frequent and the requests of the different members have been previously coordinated: as well as the technical proposals of models for multipurpose shelters and definitive constructions.
ACT appeal LAPE71 33 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims Coordination with other organizations in the area of intervention
The first emergency coordination has been difficult as there are many coordination groups among the NGOs and the State. The fact that the Government, en la persona of the President of the Republic and his ministers, attracted attention from the emergency, they left the functioning of the National System of Civil Defense (SINADECI: group of organizations for the prevention and response to emergencies) in the background and the coordination that this instance has carried out regularly. This application is oriented to the assistance of the rural zone of Yauyos where, according to all the information, there is no intervention by other entities.
The ACT Peru Forum is a member of the SINADECI, as an instance of initial coordination. Secondly, a round table of the NGOs has been formed at two levels: a coordination one, to define the technical proposals for reconstruction and one for incidence before the State. Worth mentioning is that the State’s current reconstruction proposal is mainly oriented to the urban and business sector starting from the establishment of the Fondo de Reconstrucción del Sur – FORSUR (Fund for the Reconstruction of the South) and proposes the reconstruction through the contracting of construction companies. It does not include offers or support for directed and supervised self-construction which is the object of the incidence of the group of NGOs. In the work zone, the Coordination Table for the Fight against the provincial Poverty of Yauyos is an important coordination space where all the state sectors, social base organizations, the church and the NGOs gather.

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance - Presbyterian Church USA.
II. IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER & PARTNER INFORMATION
Presbyterian Church USA – Joining Hands against Poverty Peruvian Network
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA), has worked together with the Peruvian Network and other institutions of the Presbyterian Church in several areas of the world, actively contributing to long term solutions for the disaster affected populations.
The Joining Hands Peruvian Network is the social service of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in Peru; it is a non-governmental, non-profit organization. It counts with the participation of fourteen member organizations.
The Peruvian Network was founded by the Presbyterian Hunger Program and has working experience in bringing relief to disaster affected, with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. One example is the floods in the district of San Ramón, Junín. The Network members were actively involved in the , through psychosocial and pastoral support, reconstruction of infrastructure, urban planning, development of the production and ecological alternatives.
The Joining Hands work is oriented at fighting against the root of poverty in Peru and to find alternative and sustainable solutions for marginalized communities, through capacity building and accompaniment. As an ecumenical network, it provides accompaniment for civil organizations and churches, building together programs, projects, proposals, among others advocacy on environmental public policies, local economic development and basic services, as well as human rights.
This proposal will be implementing through the contribution of the Joining Hands Network’ members. One of them is the Institute for Urban Development – CENCA, for the provision of water for households and the implementation of the sanitation services.
In implementing this proposal, Joining Hand cooperate with the Center of Disaster Studies and Prevention – PREDES, Lutheran World Relief- LWR and Asociación Evangélica Luterana de Ayuda para el Desarrollo Comunal - DIACONIA.
III. DESCRITION OF THE SITUATION IN THE AREA OF PROPOSED RESPONSE
The PDA/Joining Hands proposal will target the community of San Benito, in the district of Grocio Prado, province of Chincha, department of Ica, which is one of the area most affected by the earthquake. Moreover, for being in a rural area and due to the lack of systematization in the Central Government Civil Defense assessment, the needs of this population was not sufficiently taken into consideration.
In the San Benito community the houses have been destroyed to over 90% and those that remain have been seriously damaged. Fortunately no human death were reported there. Since homes are small and mostly of one floor only, people were able to escape quickly to safer areas.
At present, most of the families of San Benito live in temporary straw shelters that were built after the earthquake, with the accompaniment of PREDES.
The already precarious water pipes suffered from several ruptures and pits for water storage were affected by material that fall from adobe walls. This worsened the access of the population to potable water, making ACT appeal LAPE71 37 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims them more dependant from the tank trucks coming from the city of Chincha Water Company and selling water by canister. It is worth mentioning that before the earthquake, the community was connected to water distribution network that came from the city of Chincha, but they only received water for a few hours at night. There is an evident lack of water to cover all the needs of the families. Moreover, the price of water sold by tank truck has increased.
None of the houses in San Benito have sanitation facilities, which is raising the risk for contamination, especially for the particularly vulnerable population such as children, who are exposed to parasitic and infectious diseases. These health problems, which are common in populations of scarce resources, and who live in warm climates, are worsened by the inadequate conditions of hygiene, environmental health and potable water supply, and often result in diarrheic infection in the children population.
Despite an interruption, the electric power supply was soon restored.
The health center and in particular the educational centers of Grocio Prado have been affected in their infrastructure. The families of San Benito now have to go as far as the district of Grocio Prado to access health services. After setting up temporary classrooms and fitting out other, classes restarted more than a month and a half after the earthquake.
Mothers have organized community kitchen to prepare the meals of their smaller children. There are five organizations of that kind in San Benito. Approximately 15% of the parents are searching for a new work, but the majority work in their small plots dedicated to small-scale agriculture.
The tension and stress caused by the earthquake and its consequences (such as loss of the belongings) have had a sever emotional impact on the families, at both physical and psychological level. This is particularly true for the children, women and the elderly. Family structure have been damaged. The Governmental support is limited and does not manage to cover the populations that live outside of the city.
The coastal lands of the Department of Ica, where Chincha is located, draw their resources from the agro- exportation activities. In a sandy terrain, crops require water supply from other areas, and the careful management of this resource for the population and cultivation areas. The conventional sources of water supply are the rivers that come down from the highlands and underground water that is extracted by pumps. Nevertheless, the level of the river and the water along the coast of Chincha are decreasing without any sign of recovering. Thus water is considered a critical issue for this province and its department in general.
Impact on human lives
According to the Office of the Government Attorney and INDECI last month’s report, the number of persons who died because of the earthquake in the department of Ica is the following: Chincha 99, Ica 73 and Pisco 338, of the which 39.5% were under 15 years of age and 30.2% over 60.
Although no deaths have been registered in the community of San Benito, the impact of the earthquake in the lives of the persons has been traumatic due to the material losses suffered by their families and changes in their personal relationships, which has forced them to modify their way of life.
Description of damages in the area of the project
Province of Chincha
As we already mentioned, the project is focus on the community of San Benito in the district of Grocio Prado for being one of the rural areas qualified by the INDECI as one of the hardest hit by the earthquake.
In San Benito out of a total of 180 families, 90 per cent have suffered the complete collapse of their homes and the houses that are still standing have their walls cracked and are dangerous to live in. Only one small house, made of cement, was not damaged and is still in good conditions for sheltering the family. The reasons for the destruction of these houses are mainly due to the kind of construction (adobe walls, and the construction does not follow the technical recommendations available for this kind of habitation). ACT appeal LAPE71 38 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims
Fortunately, because the earthquake occurred at 6.41 p.m. Lima time, and since the families are living in small houses with relatively light roofing, they were able to escape in time, which avoided loss of human life, although some people were injured.
For all the families of San Benito, access to basic services such as water, sanitation, electricity and others has worsened.
The families and particularly the children are the ones who have suffered the greatest psychological impact from the earthquake, and the subsequent changes in their family life. Parents live in a constant state of uncertainty for themselves and their children because of the precariousness of the basic services, housing and economic situation.
Area of intervention
Region Province District Characteristics
Ica Chincha Grocio Prado Community of San Benito: Located in the northeastern part of the district. It has approximately 700 inhabitants that make up 165 families; its population is continuously growing. They are dedicated mainly to agriculture, have small plots, 0.25 to 2 has. and raise animals at a small scale
Cooperation in the area affected by the earthquake
A diverse group of government agencies, organizations from the civil society, churches, cooperation and municipalities have brought support during the first days of greatest urgency. However, a month and a half later, relatively few institutions have remained in Chincha for the reconstruction of the affected cities and towns.
For the Central Government, Ica and Chincha are considered as key areas of expansion for the agro- exportation activities, but the benefits have not yet reached the rural population of this region. Most of the governmental funds have been directed toward developing the economic infrastructure of the region: The local governmental institutions lack funds to invest in the development of the population and is little prepared to face earthquakes or disasters of this magnitude.
IV. TARGETED BENEFICIARIES
Beneficiaries of the project
The 150 families of the community of San Benito will be targeted for this project. They will benefit from reconstruction of drinking water and sanitation system.
V. PROPOSED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION
Goal
Contribute to the recovery of the community of San Benito, from the consequences of the earthquake, in order to help its families develop a dignified life. ACT appeal LAPE71 39 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims
Specific Objective
To assist the disaster affected population of San Benito, Chincha, in its recovery process, through the implementation of basic services.
Results The completion of the project aims at achieving two main results:
Result 1.- The development of a system of water supply to homes and maintenance of the system through participative social management by the San Benito community. 150 family homes have access to their own water system.
Result 2.- Installation of an alternative drainage system for each household of the community of San Benito, applying the ECODESS1 Micro-system. A total of 150 dry ecological bath, 10 latrines and 150 percolation wells will be built.

1 ECODESS -Ecology and Development with Sustainable Sanitation- is a an integrated micro-system of collection, treatment and re- use of domestic solid and liquid waste. It is divided in three sub-systems: A domestic system, located in the house, with a complete bathroom connected to a collector of grey water that go to a “fat-keeper container” (that retains fats and suspended solids); a neighborhood system, that collects the water coming from all the domestic units to another filter before storing it in a cistern, from which it will go to an underground irrigation network to maintain the green areas. This avoids using drinkable water for irrigation purposes. A third sub-system aims at maintaining the system and collect the residue to complete their filtration and apply them to the agriculture.
ACT appeal LAPE71 40 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims Project implementation methodology
The proposal on water supply and drainage for the population of San Benito is only one of the set of projects that are part of the comprehensive intervention of the ACT Peru agencies. ACT members attempt to complement each other. In the case of San Benito, PREDES will be in charge of components like urban planning, and household construction, while Presbyterian Church – Joining Hands Network, will be in charge of the components of water supply, and drainage system.
The components for the reconstruction of San Benito have been assessed and agreed upon with the population and organizations that participate in the implementation.
With the participation of the affected community and support from the local authorities, this project proposes to improve the conditions of sanitation and hygiene, by responding to the unhealthy conditions caused by the solid and liquid waste and by the lack of urban sewage infrastructures.
The affected population participated in the analysis of the current situation and development of proposals, committing their labor and local resources for the successful construction and implementation of the project.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITUATION IN THE AREA OF THE PROPOSED RESPONSE
Current situation in the area of the proposed response
The area of the proposed response is located in: - the province of Chincha, district of Grocio Prado (village of San Benito) of the province of Ica, where PREDES works directly, and - in the province of Pisco, districts of San Clemente and Independencia, where the Proceso Kairos Peru NGO works
In these areas the destruction due to the earthquake has been massive as was observed during the field visits. The targeted population is currently living in temporary shelters that protect them provisionally from the inclemencies of the weather (strong winds and temperatures in the range of 13°C during the night); is undergoing post-traumatic stress. The communities have lost their ability to organise themselves effectively.
The houses are largely concentrated in the villages themselves, some houses are scattered in the surroundings of the centers.
San Benito is connected to the water system of the city of Chincha, receiving the service sporadically during hours of the night; nevertheless, it stores the water in wells in poos hygienic conditions. All villages under the project lack of sewage systems and use latrines, some of the which have also been affected by the earthquake.
PREDES has coordinated with the mayors of the respective districts and with the authorities of both communities, who support the implementation of the project.
Description of damages in the area of the proposed response
The technical team together with the local authorities has made a preliminary analysis of damages in the villages.
It was stated that the houses destroyed in Grocio Prado, Independencia and San Clemente were predominantly of adobe, self-built, without technical guidance. 80% of these houses have been partially or completely destroyed and those that continue to be inhabited by the families constitute a great risk to their ACT appeal LAPE71 47 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims lives. The families who left their homes are currently sleeping in shelters made of cane and wooden structures, built in San Benito by PREDES with funding from the ACT RRF and from the German NGO HELP.
Chincha Province Locality Persons Families Men Women Children Adults Affected Affected Grocio Prado 3250 650 52 % 48% 35% 65%
Pisco Province District of Independencia: localities of Cabeza de Toro, Montalbán, Benavides and Toma de León. District of San Clemente (Urban Area). Locality Persons Families Men Women Children Adults Affected Affected Independencia 1200 200 51 % 49% 30% 70% San Clemente 750 150 51% 49% 32% 68%
In the rural areas of Independencia, San Clemente and even San Benito, the families has to face the emergency situation with their own means only. Help was delayed due to the chaos and logistic difficulties. Psycho-social support promised by public agencies has never arrived. The social networks that connect the families are only just being restored. The role of the churches is crucial in these moments as meeting places for the families, particularly because school buildings have not yet been re-established.
Security situation in the area of the proposed response
Telephone communciations have been restored in the area. Access to San Benito is immediate as it is close to the South Pan American Highway, 3 km from the town of Chincha. Access to Villa San Pedro is easy over a dirt road from the town of Ica. Access to the localities of the districts of Independencia and San Clemente is also directly possible on the dirt road from the Via Libertadores. There should be no problems neither for the access by people or trucks carrying material for the reconstruction.
There are no security problems in the area. The population is organized and has the situation under control, preventing banditry and pillage.

PREDES has sent two work teams in the area of Chincha and Ica, which in particular in the main towns of the regions. In San Benito a team has provided emergency aid funded by the RRF. They assisted with building temporary shelters and deposits for water storage and provided psychosocial support for children.
KAIROS already has contact with the Christian communities of Independencia and San Clemente, and a field team that has made a assessment of the area.
As in other rural areas of the Ica Region, the damage assessment by the government is still not yet completed. The population in the region has received some aid from the German Red Cross providing community deposits for water storage (bladders) and hygiene kits.
ACT appeal LAPE71 48 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims PREDES reckons that the Government will not provide assistance for reconstruction to the area after the experience with the Nazca Earthquake of 1996 and the earthquake in southern Peru in 2001, where the Government was not able to help.
The implementation of the appeal in San Benito will be coordinated with the district municipality of Grocio Prado. PREDES will coordinate the rehabilitation of water system and installation of toilets with the “Joining Hands Peru” Network, a partner of the Presbyterian Church and will also work together with other relevant agencies.

Methodology of the putting in practice of the project
The PREDES technical and logistical personnel in the areas of Grocio Prado will carry out the work. Kairos will be in charge of implementation in the province of Pisco (San Clemente and Independencia).
The project supports awareness creation in relation to the need of building safe houses.
PREDES and its implementing partner Kairos will implement the project keeping in mind cross-cutting issues such as risk management in disasters and equity of gender.
ACT appeal LAPE71 55 Assistance to Peru earthquake victims PREDES will accompany the entire process of project implementation with a basic team which comprise a coordinator, a technical supervisor specialized in alternative construction technologies and a psychologist. A permanent work team will be set up between PREDES and Kairos to facilitate a common approach.
In Pisco coordination has already been made with the pastors and Church Leaders for initiation of the project. Starting from these contacts, an Intervention Base will be established in Independencia and another in San Clemente. Two Leaders will be designated for monitoring and for coordinating the resources with field teams.
The field teams will be in charge of coordination with the community leaders and local agencies that will participate in the project implementation. The community leaders will be trained. Subsequently they replicate actions in each one of the localities to which they belong to under guidance of the project team.
The execution of the project is based on the good knowledge that PREDES and KAIROS have of the areas where the project will be carried out but also on the good relationships established between them, the local population and their local governments. Likewise the execution of the project is supported in the experience developed by PREDES in the issue of participative construction with anti-seismic technologies like quincha, as well the experience shared between PREDES and Kairos in matters of mental health, psychosocial intervention and institutional strengthening.
To ensure results the communities and local governments will enter into agreements. PREDES will provide a project coordinator, located in the area of San Benito (Chincha) and Kairos a coordinator in Pisco area.
To achieve objective 1, the project will assist the population learning about the advantages of risk management, disaster prevention and the participative selection of the beneficiaries of the anti-seismic home modules of improved quincha. The technology will be disseminated through the training of operators, by the participative design of a secure and healthy home. The PREDES coordinator will ensure the achievement of activities by constant monitoring and follow up. The beneficiaries commit to participate actively in the project and to contribute the available material for the construction of their homes.
To achieve objective 2, psychosocial support workshops will be organized with the population of San Benito, with an emphasis on the psychological recovery of the children who are the main victims and who are the first to learn about the risks and the reduction of vulnerabilities. The PREDES coordinator will supervise the execution of the activities in charge of the social promoter and the psychologist.
To achieve objective 3, the pastors together with the community will participate in the assessment and identification of persons to be trained for psychosocial intervention in crisis situations. Kairos personnel, expert in the subject, will participate in this process. An evaluation will be made of the people, prioritizing the attention of those most affected. The impact of the action will be evaluated.
For the achievement of objective 4, the active participation of the community and of the local governments will be sought for the achievement of their own development, with an emphasis in the training of young people in the issues of risks in development as well as the strengthening of the Civil Defense District Committees. This objective is carried out by PREDES and Kairos each one of them in a designated work area and with their respective emphases. The process will be systematized for its diffusion and towards it having greater impact. During the execution of the project, visits will be made to the reconstruction experience in San Benito for purposes of making known the experience to the neighboring communities in order to support this reconstruction process with an approach of prevention such as the one to be applied in San Benito.
The achievement of the project activities is based on commitments assumed among the communities, local governments, PREDES and its counterpart Kairos. The lessons learned will be disseminated through the publications and the PREDES web page.

Planning of presumptions, limitations and designation of priorities
Apart from the high seismic activity typical to the zone, there are no particular risks that could hinder or prevent the development of the project.
One potential risk is that beneficiaries might not participate in the construction work because of the seasonal agricultural activities (mainly sowing and harvesting) which may delay the construction. This risk will be reduced by workers who will replace will fill in the temporary absence of the beneficiaries.
Another risk is that the local municipality may not support the project as foreseen. This would complicate and delay the implementation in three areas: issuing of title deeds or land ownership, supply of construction material, and the clearing of the debris with machinery.
Implementation schedule
The project will be carried out in 8 months ending 31 July 2008.
