AGUA PARA LA VIDA
Agua Para La Vida (APLV) or "Water for Life" helps the poorest communities of rural Nicaragua- where 50% of households live without access to clean water-build there own gravity flow clean water and sanitation systems. They employ a comprehensive approach to community health, developing sustainable local health education programs in conjunction with the water systems. They offer ongoing support to each community as the project is transferred from APLV to being 100% locally run and require a commitment from municipal governments to support the water project on an ongoing basis. APLV also operates a technical school that is providing the next generation of water technicians to Nicaragua.
