Peru Castrovirreyna Learning Visit
We will visit the Growing Hope Globally supported agricultural development program in the Huancavelica region of Peru during this week-long fast-paced visit from August 1-7, 2026.
We will learn from local partner staff and visit participating communities. Activities will include demonstrations on artisanal cheese production, discussions with families participating in cattle genetic improvement, meetings with producer associations, and household visits to learn about nutrition and hygiene practices.
Please note, this trip will involve an in-country flight, long hours in the car, moderate walking, uneven terrain, and higher altitudes.
About the Program
The Peru Castrovirreyna program is implemented by Lutheran World Relief and local partner, CEDINCO, works with indigenous farming families to increase their income from the sale of quality dairy products to improve the availability and access to food. Program participants are working together to improve the production of milk from cows and strengthen good food and hygiene practices.
