Sustainability
Families and communities apply best practices in the communities where Pachamama Raymi worked. Experience has shown that they will continue to apply these practices because it has improved their living conditions.
People learn and find out in their daily life that better care for their environment also improves their living conditions.
Recommended innovations were successful in areas of similar socio-environmental characteristics, and require no external inputs.
All that is required for its continued implementation is and will be available, requiring no external support from anyone.
Participation in a Pachamama Raymi project is the best guarantee to initiate a virtuous cycle of change. Though initially the main attraction and incentive may be to win a prize in a contest, after several contests, participants appreciate their progress and are aware of their own achievements.
Even those who never won a prize, appreciate the advantages of the innovations they have introduced in their daily routine, and will therefore continue to apply them.. |
