Peru: Places to send donations for people in Cusco
At present, rains in Cusco have left more than 23,000 homeless people and more than 37,000 affected people; more than 16,000 hectares of crops have been damaged, and nine bridges collapsed.
One week after the storms started, several districts and towns in Cusco have not received any help yet.
One of the most needed things is machinery to remove the rubble; construction materials to rebuild the destroyed houses, and sump pumps to get rid of the water.
People need things like blankets, matresses, tents, water, non-perishable foods, candles, warm clothes, plastics, medicines, items for personal hygiene and and big plastic bags to sort out and pack the donations.
Donations can be taken to these places:
