Peru
Quebrada Verde
This village was the first to receive help from Water for Kids. 1999
saw the completion of the project where a safe water supply was provided
for the 1,000 residents of the squatter village in the country's coastal
desert area. Up until then, the only source of water was a single well
that was contaminated with a variety of diseases. This project was completed
in conjunction with OACA a Peruvian Non-Governmental
Organisation.
Pucallpa
On behalf of Water for Kids a full-time volunteer, Scott Grant, worked
with Peruvian health professionals to provide means for villagers of Pucallpa
to make their drinking water safe. The project was successfully completed
in the spring of 2004 and handed over to the control of "Salud Para el
Pueblo" which continues to work towards improving the sanitation and health
of the people of Pucallpa.
