WOO HOO Water Project for Gualapuro - Phase 3
Tax deductible
The people of Gualapuro will soon have the clean water system they have not only dreamed of for the past few decades but WORKED SO HARD FOR over the past few years.
With $15,400 in donations from people around the world, material & machinery support from the Municipality, the leadership of the Tandana Foundation, the expertise of Public Works engineers and the MANUAL LABOR of residents of all ages (occasionally aided by some fearless Tandana Volunteers ), Gualapuro now has an impressive water collection system, and completed 30,000 gallon reservoir tank (which will gravity feed the town) and a pump house.
To bring this project to completion, we entered phase 3 needing to raise another $15,000. Now we are just a few thousand away!
More than half that amount will provide each home with the 4 necessary devices that will keep both the residents and the water supply safe. This is necessary because while the community water system is new, the existing pipes in each home are not. The remainder of the raised funds will provide the complete pumping system that will carry the water from the spring up more than 700 feet to the reservoir high above town, the electric meter and breakers, and extra security for the pump house and all systems. These security and enforcement measures will provide protection from theft and mudslides so that this system will be able to serve the community for decades to come.
Please SHARE this project with others and SUPPORT as you are able.
1. Donate here on GFM. (They do take a small percentage.)
2. Donate directly to Tandana without fees!
3. Give cash donations to team members. (You'll still get a tax receipt and can appear on the donors role - or not.)
