White Mountain School Video
One of the basic necessities of high altitude communities is satisfying the protein intake of their daily diet, as potato is the only crop that will grow at such altitudes. Due to the fact that a common natural resource in the communities of Chaullacocha y Chupani is water, it was possible to introduce an alternative animal breeding activity to resolve this problem. ProPeru designed and installed trout farms in the communities of Chuallacocha and Chupani in January and March 2005 with The White Mountain School. The supplemental protein provided by trout is important in improving the daily nutritional intake of community members and providing an additional source of economic income for some families.
