NuevaLife believes that everyone has the right to safe water. That is why we are working to build safe structures to provide access to water for students and their families in educational centers, to be used for direct consumption and farming.
In these communities, families rely on wells, rivers, or small ‘jagüeye’ reservoirs, however, the water is untreated and salt contaminated. Children under 5 are the most prone to illness, as their bodies are not accustomed to the state of the water.
The filtration systems do not require energy and are easy to maintain. NuevaLife runs workshops with community members on their proper use and maintenance.
