El Paraiso: Running water problems

El Paraiso: a school with 350 children. The school has no running water. Every two weeks a cistern comes to fill the water containers. There are also problems with drinking water. Each classroom must regularly buy water bottles. We have consulted with another local organization how to solve the problem.

Building a well is difficult and we don’t have the necessary funds. So we decided to build a cistern for collecting rainwater. Work began on June 22nd.

The work situation is currently even more difficult due to all the restrictions, but the workers are well motivated and happy to be able to help the school.

The dimensions are 3x4x2 m. 24,000 liters will be collected.

With this we will at least be able to solve part of the school’s water problems.

We are still looking for a suitable solution for drinking water.
