Completed Projects
The following is a list of projects completed since we began in fall of 2016.
Thank you to our generous sponsors and all your donations!
Safe, Contained Water on-demand!
I never thought that a water tank would make me cry - but it has! The picture on the far left is how the water used to pour into this alley way. It would flood into the space with water at different times of days and for different amounts of time. This water had to be collected and stored by hand for all the daily needs. Easily contaminated, and ripe grounds for mosquitos (and the illnesses that come with them) - it was a big problem for the families in this area. Now, the water comes into a giant Rotoplas container that stores it safely, and without contamination. A pump has also been installed to allow the families to have running water and facets from this container! What an incredible difference!

bathroom with running water and electricity
In the top left picture - you can see the previous toilet with no easy way to clean it, no running water, and a dirt floor. This was shared by 25 people! Baths were taken in the green sink outside in the middle of the alley - noone has ever been able to shower with running water! This new bathroom is more beautiful that we anticipated! It has a secure door, a shower, a small sink for hand-washing, a new large pila outside for washing dishes and food preparation, and a toilet all with running water! And electricity so they can see at night! Words cannot descibe how happy we are to have these projects completed and provide all these people with safe water and hygiene.
