Likewise, attendees will be able to enjoy an attractive information space about the New Talara Refinery, the different social initiatives (in health, education, environmental protection, empowerment, infrastructure and strengthening of productive capacities) executed during its construction stage, as well as the main services of the Information and Citizen Participation Office- OIPC, as well as a family area for the registration of photographs for souvenirs.

Women with Energy

It should be noted that since 2017, Petroperú has trained nearly 400 Talara women in technical-productive workshops and implemented 11 formal businesses, which had initial financing provided by the company and which now allow them to generate their own income and contribute up to 30% to their family income.

Currently, 80 women from Pariñas and La Brea-Negritos are training at Senati in cooking, baking and pastry, with plans to finish their courses next December.

This initiative is part of the social commitments assumed in the Local Development Support Program of the Community Relations Plan of the Environmental Impact Study of the Talara Refinery Modernization Project and the Community Relations Plan of Lot I.
