GOING SOUTH OF CHIMBOTE CITY it is located Nuevo Chimbote city which was established as a new district some years ago. But along with the city also was and still is increasing its population as well. So, where urban area ends right there starts forming several new neighborhoods. It used to be large areas of uninhabited land before but as time went by those places were invaded for a lot of invasors located Nuevo Chimbote south and parallel to Panamericana Highway that takes to Lima - capital city.
Most of these neighborhoods are made up by couples with children who have no house to live, people coming from Highland to find jobs at Coast, etc. There were 150,000 people in Nuevo Chimbote 3 years ago, today are 300,000 and most of them are immigrants. This situation brings some problems for them in health, employment, education, pollution, culture, etc. Now there are around 80 suburbs.
Municipality has almost no resources to develop social programs that are needed and unemployment is one of the major problems. All of efforts that it is doing are limited and can accomplish more by partnering. For example, social programs such as health are not intensive. Most of time whenever the poor require care, families must raise money and others go to mayor for help but most don't.
Other problems appear like water supply (80% don't have access to clean drinking water), sanitation and utilities like electricity and sewer. The Government is sending money for social programs but are competing against other areas of Perú for priorities are communities that are in worse shape.
