Our Mission
Río Limpio uses scientific approaches to collaboratively address health and environmental threats in rural communities in the Peruvian Amazon, focusing on the growing issues of waste management and dengue transmission
Our workWe make a positive impact in rural Amazonian communities across three pillars |
|
Improving health outcomes
About half of rural communities are infested with the dengue mosquito. We train communities to proactively eradicate mosquito habitats
|
Creating high-quality jobs
We recruit and train local community health workers to implement interventions and deliver community education activities
|
Promoting environmental stewardship
In many rural communities, mosquitoes flourish due to inadequate waste management practices. We empower communities to co-design sustainable waste management solutions
