 MEDICAL AND EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY CENTERS IN PISCO AND
CHINCHA
The main purpose is to strengthen health and educational services at the local level,
through the building and implementation of the Medical and Educational Community
Center in the cities of Pisco and Chincha, especially addressed to the less favored
sectors of the population in these areas. The aim is to improve their quality of life with
the perspective of attaining an integral and sustainable development.
Specific objectives to be met within the area are:

 Generate conditions for educational development through workshops, and online
training.

and 181,000 people from the 11 Chincha districts.
 “INNOVATIVE PROJECTS ON READING AND FREE - CREATIVE WRITING”

Education in Peru – and Antamina Mining Fund, in which ExE promotes and manages
the financial resources of the Contest “Reading and Free-Creative Writing:
Development of Communication Capacities in the Elementary Schools of the Ancash
Region”. Currently, a total of 1,057 elementary schools are benefiting from this project.
ANNUAL FAIR/EXHIBITION OF EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS
 The annual fair is an open window that serves to spread and share successful
experiences of the private and public sectors in the educational area. Thus far,
ExE has organized 2 fairs, both within CONFIEP’S Annual Congress, in which
businesses and institutions from public sectors have participated. Twenty-two
successful experiences were presented in each fair.
 CORPORATE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
This program allows a closer relationship between the company that provides help and
the people in the community. It also raises awareness on issues of development and
education within the workers of the company, given that social committees are
established within the companies to promote social aid. Many workshops are organized
to ensure that these committees are sustainable, and thus able to develop more
projects in the future.
How does it work: When working with a company, ExE makes an internal and external
analysis of the company, to develop an initial plan. Once this is done, a volunteer guide
is developed. A campaign is then organized to form a social committee, which is
trained in a workshop before helping the community. There is also an opportunity to
organize trips to learn about successful corporate volunteer experiences for members
of the social committee.
