Greetings From Our Executive Director
Dear friends,
I’m writing to you today with a heart full of gratitude and a profound sense of awe for the incredible work being accomplished in rural Nicaragua, made possible by your unwavering support.
Building Hope: Meet Galer and Oscar, Finding Promise in Ponsoña’s New School and Water Project
We’re thrilled to share the latest progress on our biggest water and sanitation project to date, one that will serve seven communities through a single, unified effort.
A project of this scale demands precision, hard work, and perseverance. It begins with tapping a spring with sufficient water and pressure to provide clean water to over 2,000 people. It continues with building a community-owned system that is durable and will last for generations to come.
Ensuring Sustainability: Navigating Challenges and Celebrating Solutions
In our 18 years of building water and school projects, one of our key tenets has been to build sustainable projects that will last for generations to come. Thanks to the generous support of the Burdine Johnson Foundation, we are excited to continue this work on a bigger scale and visit every community where we’ve worked in past years to ensure the projects we’ve helped build are being cared for and functioning as intended.
