Place – Virtually anywhere
Cost - $50,000 fund for Purifiers, Filters, Pumps
Project Targeted - Yearly
In the heart of Santo Domingo is a six-story hospital that sees over 80 people a day. The water supply comes from a contaminated well or a cistern that cannot be safely sealed.
Confined to a wheelchair due to an automobile accident, a pastor hopes to have a mini-water treatment plant customized for his vision. He passionately wants to supply pure water to his community of over 2,000 people.
Working in 2 communities in the Puntarenas area of Costa Rica, a team will build and install a mini-water treatment in each. At the same time community members will be taught basic health education.
