Project Wawa Illari, Pachacámac, Lima
PELima, Peru
A multi-sectoral project in the rocky peripheral settlements of the Pachacámac district south of metropolitan Lima, Peru, targeting households with children aged 0–3. Community health promoters delivered home and community gardening, nutrition and parenting workshops in sequence, aiming to improve early child development and household food security. The design uses gardens as an entry point to nutrition and parenting rather than as a stand-alone activity.
