The initiative responds to the urgent needs of informal indegenous fishermen whose livelihoods have been severely affected by the infestation of the jaiba mora (black crab), which has significantly reduced fishing activity and had a serious impact on the economy of dozens of families in the province.
For many households, fishing is the primary source of income, making the decline in catches a direct threat to their daily sustenance and economic stability. Through this intervention, the Salesian organizations aim to provide practical support that will enable fishermen to resume their work and gradually restore their livelihoods.
The equipment was presented by Fr Marco Paredes, Vice Rector of the Salesian Community, together with Samuel Lozada, Project Technician of the Foundation. During the ceremony, they reaffirmed the institutions’ commitment to accompanying local communities in their recovery process, with particular attention to those living in situations of greater vulnerability.
The initiative was made possible thanks to the generous support of the German Pöschl Stiftung, (Pöschl Foundation -which dedicated to social welfare activites) whose contribution has enabled concrete assistance to reach families in need, promoting sustainable local development and offering renewed hope to communities affected by the crisis.
