The Moche River Valley cradles about twelve small communities in Northern Peru. In one community, Ciudad de Dios, UNC Nourish students built a clean water system in summer 2008. In order to ensure the maintenance of the water project, the summer 2009 team designed a pilot latrine project to protect the pipes from contamination. Over the course of the summer, students worked with local engineers to design and build three latrines, with plans to expand the project in 2010. In anticipation of MOCHE's plan to build a health clinic, Nourish teamed up with local nursing students and conducted household health assessments throughout the valley. The team also planned and carried out a community health fair for over 120 people, providing free medical consultations and health education workshops. Finally, students worked with a local OBGYN to design and teach a five-class series of prenatal workshops for pregnant women throughout the valley.
