Guatemala Water Project

$53,300

Clean water for isolated poor subsistence farmers is almost non existence. As much as 60% have no source of approved or clean water. This was especially critical after recent massive hurricanes. A solution is to have reasonable cost on site filters with in a family unit. Guatemala Sur Rotary has available a water filter system using a cleanable ceramic filter in series with two five gallon plastic containers that can be placed in remote rural homes for $50 a filter unit. The filter comes with instructions for care and maintenance. The project will be completed within a few months. The project is to finance and place 1,000 units at $50 each.This will supply clean drinking water to about 8,000 less fortunate people for up to two years.
