Leap of faith, Pisco
A BMX rider passes a church building next to the site of Pisco’s San Clemente Cathedral in December 2007, three and a half months after the earthquake that destroyed more than 90 per cent of the city’s buildings, including the cathedral, leaving over 100,000 people homeless.
Proceeds from sales of this image will be directed to the BWB Build a Cornerstone Project. This project assists families to rebuild. Using volunteer labour and materials purchased with donated funds, BWB are constructing cornerstones for families whose houses are now in ruins.
Each cornerstone is a two-room building with plumbed bathroom and kitchen fixtures, all connected to existing water and sewerage services. These cornerstones been specifically designed to withstand future earthquakes and provide a much needed helping-hand allowing people to live with dignity while gradually rebuilding their homes.
