News From the Field: A Project Schoolhouse Newsletter
October 2024
Greetings From Our Executive Director
Dear friends,
We’re excited to share project updates and photos of the multi-community water, sanitation and school project we broke ground on late this summer in the region of La Ponsoña, Matagalpa. With one water capture, we can deliver water to seven communities at once, leveraging costs and efficiency as we scale the water system technology that has been our mainstay for 17 years. Our team continues to prove themselves as they put their expertise to work. I hope you enjoy the project update below.

Among those I had the privilege of speaking with were Oscar, a 4th-grade student, and his dedicated teacher, Geler.

This first stage of the project will build the spring capture, water tanks and distribution lines that will ultimately provide safe, potable water to the homes and schools in 7 communities, as well as build sanitary latrines, handwashing stations and schools in each community
