Mother and daughter jam makers in Mollepata
The community
Aside from those working directly for the lodges, the company also supports the wider community and you are welcome to visit these projects if you have an interest.
In the village of Mollepata the company founded Yanapana Peru – a social project to help create sustainable sources of income for the locals. It has encouraged, advised and supported the locals in producing and selling local organic jams and textiles. The lodges buy a lot of the jam and also helps them market it further afield to Lima etc.
The company has also built extensions to local schools and sponsored other education and health projects.
