Opening the tap of the house and seeing that the water is getting smaller every time, causes despair. It is a sense of helplessness, but at the same time of reflection, so that we promote the care of the environment, otherwise we are undermining our own grave.
To realize a new potable water system that ensures us clean water, we need you to join this project, and continue to collaborate with us. And let our voice be with other people, so that together we can offer a better world.
¡Together we can do the difference!
