11:23 | Mayuriaga (Loreto region), Apr. 26.
Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra affirmed his Government meets the principal needs of the Amazon population by providing better healthcare and education services, which will lay the foundations for rainforest communities and people's development.
During his visit to Mayuriaga community —located in Morona district of Datem del Marañon province— the Head of State affirmed his presence in the place is to address leaders and Apus (chiefs) with the purpose of hearing their main demands and needs.
"My presence here in Mayuriaga shows the Government's commitment to those Peruvians who received no attention at all. Here we are to change that situation. We cannot do it from one day to the other, but we are showing the joint efforts we make," he underlined.
Loreto agenda
During his visit to the rainforest region of Loreto, Vizcarra delivered a modern infrastructure aimed at pre-school and primary levels of a local school.
The infrastructure will benefit more than 150 pre-school and primary students, as the facilities were equipped to deal with local climate conditions.
These works are part of the Jungle Plan, which seeks to reduce the educational infrastructure gap and secure the basic living conditions at school buildings across the Peruvian Amazon so as to increase students' quality of learning.
