In Peru, the guinea pig is bred for its protein-rich flesh. For a long time, they grew up within the family itself, without any particular precaution in terms of hygiene and the care to be provided to them. Thanks to the intervention of Iles de Paix, a hundred women were trained in the breeding of these animals, thus making it possible to improve the quality and the quantity of the production. Through this action, many families have seen their food enriched considerably and for some, their income improved.
