What is an “olla comun” or communal kitchen?  An olla comun is a community-led, solidarity-driven communal kitchen. In times of crisis, the poorest communities band together to address one issue in particular: Hunger. All across Peru, tens of thousands of communities have formed their own ollas comunes in their “barrios” or neighborhoods, as a way to survive and feed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people. Most ollas comunes are located in extremely isolated, peri-urban communities that experience abject and heartbreaking poverty. Each olla comun serves an average of two main meals a day to however many people are in their community. They band together to share resources. Often, these make-shift communal kitchens are created outdoors on abandoned lots or shared land, and do not comply with hygienic standards for the preparation & serving of food. Hygiene comes secondary to hunger, in a crisis like this where 70% of Peruvians are informally employed. This high level of informal employment is what led to complete desolation of finances for millions of Peruvians during the extended quarantine, which ended June 30, 2020. COVID-19 has been shown to spread within large crowds of people. Therefore, ollas comunes could potentially propagate the virus. In order to combat the risk of the spread of infection, it is crucial to ensure their access to water and hygiene. HOP has allied with community leaders to identify and serve 50 ollas comunes, providing them with essential hygiene materials. With 200 hygiene packs, we have benefited an estimated total of 2075 people. These ollas comunes now have hand soap, alcohol, liquid soap, extra hand-made masks, and their children have educational-wellness booklets and crayons. Each pack cost $14, and with the additional travel and coordination expenses the total cost came to $3,000. Thank you! This would not be possible without the caring support of our faithful donors. As we keep working, we continue to receive requests from community leaders for the needs of their own communities. Our COVID19 disaster relief is not over and we are still accepting donations via paypal to continue to support our fellow Peruvians and Venezuelans. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
