Pastor confined to a wheelchair due to an automobile accident wants to supply pure water to his community of over 2,000 people. Specialized valves, pumps and low tanks are required for him to operate the purification process.
Place – Urban Bario, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Cost - $6,000
Project Targeted – November 2007
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.

I’ll be leading this trip on November 13-17. It would be great if I could find two more people to join us. So far, it’s myself and one other guy. Leave a post here if you are interested and I’ll get in touch.
