We are raising $15,000 for WaterAid America to support clean water and sanitation initiatives in northern Nicaragua. Currently, two million people lack sanitation and 800,000 live without clean water in Nicaragua. We want to change this by empowering women and girls to become clean water leaders in their communities through vocational job training and microfinance opportunities.
Be part of the solution.
The women in the program receive job training to build latrines and rainwater catchment tanks, repair water wells and pumps, and educate families and schools about hygiene. This project helps break the cycle of poverty because women are able to lift communities up by providing access to essential clean water and sanitation.
Your donation will have a lasting impact.
$30 pays for 1 pit latrine for a family.

$100 pays for two hand pumps for water wells.
$500 pays for latrine construction and maintenance services for one family.
$1,000 pays for water and sanitation vocational training for 30-40 young women.

We cannot do this alone. We need your help.
