Quietly, 175 Nicaraguan
families would like to say "thank you" for one of life's humble
necessities.
For years, these hard-working
families were forced to use crude latrines. The indignity and the smell weren't
even the worst of it: Without decent sanitation and with flies constantly
invading their water supply and food, their children and their farm animals were
constantly sick.
That's
when Pura Vida said "Enough" and partnered with El Porvenir, a clean water and
sanitation organization in Nicaragua, who have successfully brought sustainable
potable water and sanitation to over 600 projects helping over 70,000
Nicaraguans.
For
$45,000, the recently completed PuraVida/El Porvenir project created a gravity
fed water system, 5 wells and 101 latrines for six rural communities, home to
175 thankful families.
"There has been a huge impact in
the development of us living better," says Mr. Blanco, father of 6. "The
children aren't getting as sick as before. We are so very grateful for the
gifts that have been given to us. We now have a clean place to go to the
bathroom."
Health.
Hope. And a better life. It's how Pura Vida is working to Create Good¨ for
coffee-growing communities from Central America to Africa.
Every day.
Thanks for your continued support,
Sam Snyder
Program Director
Pura Vida
provides life-changing solutions to further the health, hope and future of
children & families in coffee growing communities. Thank you for your support, which
is crucial for the continued transformation of these communities.
