One week after the infamous spill of 6,000 barrels of oil in the sea off Ventanilla, various organizations have been working together to coordinate the donations needed to contain and remedy the damage, in conjunction with Sernanp and Serfor.
“All civil society organizations have joined together to present a single donation channel that offers security and transparency, enabling us to reach the urgent goal of multiplying donations,” commented Anton Willems, CEO of Profonanpe. “RecuperoMiMar.com is the result of the teamwork that all organizations and citizen movements must demonstrate today to overcome this environmental tragedy, which is undoubtedly one of the most horrific in Peru’s history.”.
Any citizen or organization that wants to contribute to cleaning our sea and/or rehabilitating affected wildlife should visit the website www.RecuperoMiMar.com and choose your preferred donation method: credit card, debit card, bank transfer, Yape, or PayPal. “Even a donation of one sol is welcome. We urge all our fellow citizens to visit the website and join forces to recover our sea as soon as possible,” Willems stated.
