We are very happy to report - at the water information day by Sapasma (the local water authority) on the 15th March, (at which incidentally our San Miguel Midday Rotary President made a presentation) Sapasma made an announcement ... Their board has agreed to devote US$35,000 to match the Rotary Global Grant of $33,500, to begin a pilot project with the Water Project Team... Rotary, Cedesa & The communities!!
They propose to work with us to learn the model & methodology, & then their promoters (outreach workers) will take it to other communities!
So, with 53 more cisterns & 2 more communities served, we continue to work towards resolving this issue for all in need!!
3 cheers for Sapasma!!
For almost 3 years we have been working with Sapasma as well as other local authorities, Desarollo Social & the Ecology department, to collaborate & find a resolution to the safe drinking water issue...with huge thanks & kudos to the participants of the previous projects in the communities we have been working with, we now take this big step forward with the rural communities of San Miguel...
