The principal purpose of this project is to provide safe water for drinking, food preparation and washing in ten villages in Pinchincha province in Northwest Ecuador.
The thirty-six thousand residents of the remote communities in the Andes mountains outside of Quito have little access to clean water. A recent survey estimated that only twelve percent of the families have access to potable water.(Census 2001) The communities range is size from 300 to 3000 inhabitants. This project will benefit 9,600 people. The smaller villages are primarily farming centers while larger towns have both farming and other commerial activities. All the villages have schools or day care centers. The major source of water is rivers, streams and wells. The area has ample supplies of raw water, primarily from rain and snow, thus supply is not a problem. However, the provision of clean potable water in the area is a major problem
The project will install a chlorine-based water purification system at ten small villages enabling the villagers to drink, prepare food, and wash in clean, safe water. In addition, the water will be used by students in the community schools.
The project funds will be used to purchase and install ten small potable water systems. The components of the system are described in greater detail in the Project Budget.
The project can be completed in 120 days from the time the monies are received by the Primary Host Partner.
