Non-potable Water

– 1. As we strive to support indigenous communities in the Peruvian Amazon, one critical issue we’ve pinpointed is the lack of access to safe drinking water.
– 2. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), consuming unsafe water is associated with numerous diseases such as diarrhea, cholera,
hepatitis A, dysentery, poliomyelitis, and typhoid fever. Coupled with inadequate nutrition, these conditions have resulted in significant health conditions, particularly among children, including malnutrition and reduced life expectancy.

What do we want to do?

– 1. We aim to implement a comprehensive solution by providing rainwater storage tanks equipped with purifying filters. These tanks will be integrated with water purifiers to ensure that clean, safe water is readily available for distribution within the home.
– 2. This project will be established in the communities of San Miguel de Cacao and Santa Rosa del Caña, located in the department of Loreto, Peru.
