World Water Day – Water for Tehuiste
Calling all CdA supporters! World Water Day is coming up on March 22nd. Our ongoing water project in the community needs your help. CdA is providing pilas (pila = water storage receptacle + sink) to homes in the community. Over the next two weeks we will be posting profiles of some of the applicants to the program, leading up to World Water Day, in a fundraising drive to raise $2,000.
If you’re able, please consider a donation to our organization. Any amount helps – no number is too small. With your help we can meet our fundraising goal of $2,000 by World Water Day on March 22nd.
María Santos Hernández
María Santos Hernández has five children; two girls and three boys. A pila in her home would greatly improve the quality of life of her large family. María suffers from chronic osteoporosis, which leaves her constantly bedridden.
Her husband left the family for another woman, abandoning the family in their adobe home. With a monthly income of only $40, she often struggles to make ends meet.
