Our chapter is currently partnering with the community of La Ceiba, El Salvador to implement a solution for clean drinking water. The community members of La Ceiba drink contaminated water from hand dug wells and a local river, and the poor water quality has caused a number of illnesses and deaths within the community.
Our chapter began implementing biosand filters in La Ceiba in January 2011, with the help of the community. We are excited to begin monitoring our pilot implementation and continue installing more filters.
