ANDEAN ALLIANCE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The Andean Alliance for Sustainable Development, Alianza Andina, is a US-certified 501c3 non-profit with a social enterprise model supporting agriculture initiatives in campesino farming communities and providing experiential learning opportunities in Peru... All projects are identified and designed in conjunction with the communities, according to their needs and realities. Our current focus is greenhouse construction and training related to greenhouse cultivation for campesino families. In the harsh growing climates of the Andes, greenhouses allow campesino farmers to grow a wide variety of vegetables year-round, supplementing their diets and providing valuable income through sales... We are not your typical non-profit organization. We believe that communities are more capable of eliminating their poverty than any development expert.
