## **Helping Overcome Obstacles Peru** 

## **Annual Report 2023** 

## **Introduction** 

During the year, HOOP (UK) raised funds through donations from private individuals. 

## **Allocation of Funds** 

Combining the previously received Dorfred grant of £952 with private donations accrued over the year, HOOP (UK) contributed £3,500 to Helping Overcome Obstacles Peru (HOOP Peru) to support the Ruwana Project. 

## **Ruwana Project Overview** 

The Ruwana Project is an initiative supporting a group of skilled craftswomen from the Northern Cone of Arequipa, Peru. These women, supported by HOOP Peru, utilise their artisanal talents to create high-quality garments and handicrafts, helping them secure a sustainable income and gain financial independence. 

## **Impact of the Donation** 

The contribution from HOOP (UK) was used to purchase wool and materials needed to produce these garments. The women have since expanded their range of products, showcasing their artistry and craftsmanship in a newly created professional catalogue. This initiative allows them to reach a wider audience and increase sales. 

## **Additional Resources** 

HOOP Peru has worked with these women to develop a professional catalogue to promote their products. It is accessible at the following link: https://www.instagram.com/ruwana.aqp/ 

## **Conclusion** 

The ongoing support from HOOP (UK), facilitated by private donations and the Dorfred grant, has provided the Ruwana Project participants with essential resources, empowering them to build a more sustainable livelihood. We look forward to continuing this collaboration and making a positive impact on the lives of these dedicated women artisans in Arequipa.
