Visiting a tile-making factory in Ayacucho, Peru

I was fortunate enough to visit a tile-making factory in the village of En Puruchcku, Peru. The factory opened in 2007, and started out as a WFP food for work project. WFP and ABA (WFPs NGO partner in Peru) taught the factory workers different methods of tile production. In 2007 and 2008, the project was able to provide roof tiles for 180 homes (with 400,000 tiles), 9,000 block tiles for the flooring of homes, and 1,000 tubes needed for a sprinkler and irrigation system used throughout the community.
The factory has had so much success that they are now receiving money, instead of food, for their work and are selling these tiles to other communities in the area, as well as several companies in the nearby city of Ayacucho. Prior to purchasing tiles from En Puruchcku, factories in Ayacucho were buying tiles from the capital city of Lima, several hundred miles away.
This video shows how the workers make the tiles.
