	D-1102    Ecuador - Ecuador Villages Safe Water for Rural Schools $30,245 The project will be implemented by the Rotary Club of Quito Norte and International Rotary partners. Quito Norte’s main activities in the past have been in support of the hospital in Pedro Vicente Maldonado where club members observed that many of the cases were from rural areas and mainly caused by contaminated drinking water. The project would install purification facilities in eight area schools. Pedro Vicente Maldonado, San Miguel de los Bancos and Nanegalito have a population of 20,000 with 8,000 in the municipality (40%) and 12,000 inhabitants in rural areas (60%). Only 12% of population has potable water. The general health of the population as a result is poor. The rural population relies on water from rivers and springs. To make things worse very few people treat or boil their drinking water; thus most suffer from gastro-intestinal diseases. Only 40% of urban houses have sewage systems. The sewage system dumps untreated water directly into the rivers and gorges that are often the sources of water for rural villages. The installation of potable water in rural schools will not only improve the health of the children but will improve the general well-being of their communities. The project is scheduled for completion in the 2008-2009 Rotary year.
