WATER PURIFICATION FOR SAFE CONSUMPTION BY THE COFFEE COMMUNITY

WATER PURIFICATION FOR SAFE CONSUMPTION BY THE COFFEE COMMUNITY

IMPROVED HEALTH IN GUATEMALA

  • Project Budget: US$ 29,120

  • Beneficiaries: 370 coffee farmer partner families

  • Partners: 4

PURPOSE

  • Besides training on the installation, use, and maintenance of the water filters, the families also receive training on Financial Education to encourage savings, Risk Management, and Healthy Homes.
  • The families will continue to enjoy using their water filters, equipped with the tools to clean and care for them.
    In the long run, this project is self-sustaining as families are supported in developing savings plans to purchase future
    replacement cartridges (approx. US$20) every 12 to 18 months, starting two years after the project is complete.
    The first replacement cartridge is provided through the project.
