There is a severe lack of access to safe, clean drinking water in northern Nicaragua. Your contribution will help make clean water accessible for a community!  

This project also engages communities in the process of planning and building water systems and empowers communities to form Water Management Committees in which men and women are responsible for the well-being and maintenance of water in their respective communities and introduces the use of technology for sustainable water resource governance.  

Removing the burden of water collection frees up time for those tasked with collecting it – typically women and girls. Time spent collecting water is time that could be spent attending school and time that could be shared with family, filled with economic pursuits, and invested in community. When clean water is unavailable, contaminated alternatives result in illness that steals time and health from all family members.
