Rebuilding rural Peru.

The 8.0 magnitude quake that struck the coast of Peru on August 15 killed over 500 people and left tens of thousands homeless. The latest numbers indicate there are 35,568 families directly affected, approximately 503 deaths and 1042 injured as a result of the quake. In a vast disaster area surrounding the cities of Pisco and Ica, the survivors, many of them living on the streets, are now desperately waiting for help. More than 56,000 houses were destroyed by the quake and several powerful aftershocks.

While most relief efforts are focused on distributions in the larger town of Pisco, we are targeting smaller communities that also have been equally devastated including Chincha Baja, Tambo de Mora, Pueblo Nuevo, El Carmen and Afro-Peruvian communities in Canete.

When you order these prints, 40% of the price will be donated to help with charities specializing in providing relief to rural families who were greatly impacted by the recent July, 2007 earthquake south of Lima. Most relief and rescue efforts have been focused on the major cities, so my purpose is to provide help to the small villages that are now inaccessible by road. With the help of Kurt Kutay of Wildland Adventures, we hope to help in the effort to restore homes and power and get medical supplies to those in need.
