- UNACEM Association, UNACEM and Alicorp delivered 25 tons of non-perishable food through the 'Manka Kusi' project at the Huertos de Manchay Municipal Stadium.
- Alicorp-UNACEM Alliance will also deliver 8 new kitchen modules in Lurín.
Together for common pots! More than 7,000 vulnerable people residing in the district of Pachacámac will improve their diet with the donation of 25 tons of non-perishable products delivered to 95 common pots in Manchay. This important initiative is possible thanks to the management of 'Manka Kusi', a project of the UNACEM Association, with the support of UNACEM and its strategic allies such as Alicorp and the Municipality of Pachacámac.
Thanks to this donation, 95 community pots, mostly led by women, received essential supplies such as oil, tuna, noodles and other products. This will allow them to cook at low cost and serve families in vulnerable situations, thus joining the private company, the municipality and other organizations to the challenge that common pots have to contribute to the food security of the population.
During the delivery, Alicorp contributed with an educational session implemented in a food truck aimed at the leaders of the communal pots. They were taught recipes rich in iron such as chaufa de sangrecita that, in addition to tasting the dish during the event, they will also be able to replicate in their communities to help combat anemia, mainly among infants and pregnant mothers. This Alicorp activity is part of the nutrition training that its “Pots that Develop” project provides to the beneficiaries of common pots, offering them easy, rich and balanced menus.
Manka Kusi, from the UNACEM Association, not only focuses on food delivery, but also promotes the development of capacities in 57 common pots, through training in finances, healthy practices, entrepreneurship and the implementation of cooking modules that contribute to improving sanitary conditions in the common pots. To date, 13 kitchen modules have already been delivered, benefiting more than 4,000 people around.
Mamacona common pot: new kitchen module implemented
As part of the strategic alliance between Alicorp and UNACEM, a kitchen module was also implemented for the Lomas Mamacona common pot in Lurín, which was inaugurated on Friday, July 19. Now this pot will be able to carry out its work in better conditions of hygiene and safety for both those who cook and the diners. It is planned to deliver 8 new kitchen modules under this strategic alliance in the Lurín district and in accordance with the availability of land and requested requirements.
The Lomas de Mamacona common pot, founded in June 2020, is part of the “Pots that develop” project, an Alicorp initiative, which also contributes to the development of common pots, through training and promotion of entrepreneurship, food delivery, equipment , among others.
This alliance between UNACEM and Alicorp to support the common pots of Pachacámac and Lurín, together with other allies, is an example that together we can build a sustainable world.
