Special Project: Satellite Internet in the Cordillera Blanca & Huayhuash Base Camps The Socorro Andino Peruano Foundation – S.A.P. was created with the mission of protecting lives in the high mountains and strengthening the culture of safety in the Andes. One of our priority projects is the implementation of a Starlink satellite internet network in the main base camps of the Cordillera Blanca and the Cordillera Huayhuash, two of the most iconic mountaineering destinations in the world. The Challenge Every year, dozens of serious accidents occur due to falls, avalanches, hypothermia, altitude sickness, or disorientation. The absence of communication in remote areas prevents a rapid response, often leading to fatal outcomes. Our Solution We have already installed the first satellite internet base in Llamacorral, which now allows real-time emergency calls and immediate coordination with authorities. The next step is to expand this life-saving network to other strategic camps, such as: ️ Alpamayo Base Camp ️ Taullipampa (Santa Cruz Trek) ️ Carhuacocha, Huayhuash, Viconga, and Jahuacocha (Huayhuash Circuit) Expected Impact  Immediate response to high-altitude emergencies. Significant reduction of deaths caused by isolation and lack of communication. Reinforced safety for tourists, guides, local communities, and operators. Positioning Peru as a South American leader in high mountain rescue. How to Support To achieve this goal, we seek financial and technological support to: Expand the Starlink network throughout the Cordillera Blanca and Huayhuash. Acquire portable satellite communication devices for expeditions. Ensure long-term sustainability and maintenance of the system. With your support, we will build the first satellite safety network in the Peruvian Andes, ensuring that no expedition is left isolated and that more lives can be saved.

Project: Socorro Andino Peruano – S.A.P. ABOUT THE PROJECT The Challenge, Our Solution, Strategic Action Axes, Starlink Satellite Project, Expected, Impact, etc Join the Cause! The Challenge: Protecting Lives in the Andes The Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash are true mountaineering paradises. Yet, behind their beauty lie serious risks. Every year, dozens of severe — and often fatal — accidents occur due to falls, avalanches, altitude sickness, or disorientation. The absence of reliable communication systems and a coordinated rescue response makes these situations even more critical. The Socorro Andino Peruano (S.A.P.) Project was created as a professional and sustainable solution to this urgent problem. Our Solution: A Comprehensive Safety System Course Structure – Day by Day Itinerary Day 1: April 01, 2026 – Huaraz – Wilderness First Responder (WFR) Refresher Schedule: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm The Wilderness First Responder (WFR) is an international certification in first aid for remote areas, designed for guides, rescuers, and adventurers. It is the most comprehensive course for wilderness first aid, preparing participants to handle medical and trauma emergencies when access to hospitals is limited or delayed. • Accommodation: Hotel Rubi in Huaraz or similar • Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner ________________________________________ Day 2: April 02, 2026 – Huaraz – Indoor Climbing Wall – Technical review and operational fundamentals Schedule: 8:00 am – 6:00 pm Activities include the installation of the training center, technical equipment inspection, practice of knots, rope systems, and operational basics essential for safe mountain interventions. • Accommodation: Hotel Rubi in Huaraz or similar • Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner ________________________________________ Day 3: April 03, 2026 – Huaraz – Indoor Climbing Wall – Anchors, pulleys, and self-rescue Schedule: 8:00 am – 6:00 pm Practical training on anchor systems, mechanical pulleys, and self-rescue techniques, with emphasis on efficiency, risk control, and team coordination.
