Specific Project determined: We are now working on the Los Torres project
to fund individual water collection systems for each household in Los Torres. We have verbal funding agreed of US$60K combined, from our North American Rotary Partner clubs.

Purpose of the Meeting -
To collect the information the mini commission had gone door to door to collect.

Lower Community
There was a list of each group of families
1 per page
Some weren’t home,
They had 13 groups, 3 maybes (counted as yes for the purpose of calculation) & one widow said no, they spent 15 minutes explaining the option to her, but felt she didn’t understand that she didn’t have to build it herself.

Upper community
They have collected info, 1 page per family & have estimated roof size.

Comments from the people surveyed
Many had wanted to do this already, but don’t have the resources, some have been using large buckets.
In general the response was very enthusiastic & willing.


We thanked the women for a great job well done & took the info to collate into a spreadsheet.
