Projects with Global Water
We are finalizing plans to work with Global
Water, an organization with extensive experience with water and sanitation projects in Guatemala, other Central American countries, and Africa.
Following our strategy to “get things done now”, we are funding projects that Global Water has put together for implementation, using their network of NGOs established through years of projects together.
If we can provide the last dollars needed to implement a project that would otherwise sit on the shelf awaiting funding, we will be serving a great need.
We are discussing participating in a project involving acquiring, testing, and installing a reverse osmosis filtration system in a hospital in a rural area of Guatemala.
We will also participate in a package of water and sanitation projects in various rural communities. Rather than attack the situation one project at a time, water catchments, water storage and piping systems, latrines, and hand washing stations can be planned all at once, funded, and then built serially.
In addition, we are hoping to work with Global Water in the field of emergency action. They demonstrated their effectiveness in that area when they brought water purification equipment to Aceh after the area was destroyed by a tsunami. Water Charity is working to develop a preparedness to jump in and provide assistance in the case of disasters that occur in the future.
