Filtron Project in Las Managuas Planned, Looking for Donor

We have decided to carry out a water filter project in Las Managuas, a small community of Cusmapa. The community has very limited access to clean water, with most of its residents drinking untreated water from the river (Rio Negro, pictured below) and the rest fighting over another open source. Around 10 houses will receive Filtrones, described in a previous entry. This will greatly improve the water quality, elimating bacteria and other contaminants. We will take advantage of another upcoming filtron project in Lajero and La Fuente, buying and transporting the filtrones together to save time and money. The total cost will be around $300.

If you would like to help, please contact me at: mzelek@fabretto.org.ni

Thanks. -Mike
