The 52,000-liter rainwater system at Kindergarten No. 192 has given the school and its surrounding community of 120 families a dependable water source after years of limited access. Its inauguration marked an important milestone for Concepción del Bermejo and for the people who helped make it possible.
Keeping that progress going takes more than construction. Fundación Aguas pairs water infrastructure with water-quality checks, education, and training so local communities can care for their systems over time. Across Argentina, the foundation’s work has helped more than 12,000 people gain access to safe water and sanitation.
This project shows what can happen when a school community, local partners, volunteers, and donors work together. The cistern is now part of daily life at the school and a reminder of the work still ahead to bring reliable water to more communities. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make this possible and continues to support that work.
