Earthquake August 2007, Peru
Reconstruction Programme, FIC
Managed directly by the Fundación Integración Comunitaria
(FIC) in Peru, the reconstruction programme of houses for the
victims of the August 2007 earthquake which hit Peru, leaving
scores of people without a house, has continued throughout 2009.
The programme aims at the construction and rehabilitation of more
than 1,000 dwellings in the Andean communities of Cañete and
Chincha. By end of 2009, almost 300 houses have been rebuilt or are
being currently under construction.
The Peruvian entities of the Trafigura Group
have committed over US$1,330,000 to this special project, over a
4-year period (2008-2010).
