Provide Water For 3 School Districts In Argentina

We continue taking steps in this great project!

After conducting a first analysis with the local community and categorizing the problem from the perspective of the beneficiaries, we carried out the selection process of the work team that is accompanying us in the construction of the rain harvesting system.

Then, we made land’s delimitation, we designed the sketch, and we bought the necessary materials when starting the construction.

At the same time, we called for masons together with local leaders, and the volunteers who will participate in the work. It is estimated that the local municipality will provide the support of two masons and the assistance of at least 8 volunteers was summoned.

We have also started with the necessary excavation to make the well where the cistern will be built.

The next step is to define the start date of the work and the training of volunteers, which due to local restrictions due to the context of the pandemic has been delayed.

Safe water for 142 children in Argentina

Kindergarten and nursery N° 193, Los Frentones

When we met this community and its reality, we detected, on the one hand, a need and, on the other, a commitment.Therefore, we decided to develop a project to be able to accompany this community.

From the initial survey, the need for a rainwater harvesting system for the institution was validated and an advanced survey was carried out with which to adjust the design to specific needs.

We’ve already sought the budgets for materials and tools, and in parallel, we’ve contacted the school directive and the municipal representative to initiate the coordination of the work.

There we took the first step to raise funds through the GlobalGiving platform and at the moment we have raised 60%. We also manage resources with local partners and with the Pampa del Infierno municipality.

At the moment, we are conducting the first analysis with the local community, categorizing the problem from the perspective of the beneficiaries. Likewise, we are in the process of selecting the work team that will accompany the construction of the rain harvesting system.

The next steps will be the delimitation of the land, the purchase of materials, the arrival of the local machinery and the establishment of the start date of the work.
