We. Did. It.

Dearest CdA Supporters,

 

WE. DID. IT. With a final fundraising goal of $4,000, we raised $4,035! And in the 2.5

months that this campaign has spanned, a water tank, digging for the main piping from

the well to the tank, and piping to several houses has been completed in the community

of Tehuiste. All with YOUR support and solidarity. Woohoo!

 

Next comes the completion of piping installation to all houses in the community, the

installation of an industrial filter, and subsequently, the distribution of pilas (water

storage tanks/sinks/faucets) to 40 of the community’s families most in need.

Just to give you a glimpse into our methodology... First, families are receiving their

water system free of charge, but they have been required to supply the manual labor.

Second, for the pilas, families are required to pay $10 of the total $45/pila. Water system

maintenance organization and trainings will commence in January 2015, and water

sanitation trainings will continue to be given on a monthly basis to the families of the

community.

 

Thank you again. This project has been in the planning and implementation stages for

CdA for two years. For the community, it has been a health and political battle for near

30 years. Your support is not only bringing water to Tehuiste. It’s bringing clean water,

and with that improved health and therefore, quality of life, to the people of Tehuiste.

 

Thank you.

In peace and solidarity,

The CdA Team
