Oregon Direct Action

The water project is off to a good start. We just heard that the Christadelphian Meal A Day Fund of the Americas will be supporting a water project in Suro Aniguo with a $15,000 grant for the rehabilitation of the exisiting water distribution system, sand filters for households that the potable water system doesn’t reach, and community work to sustainably manage the water resource. In the next 2 months, we’ll be undertaking the socioeconomic and technical surveys in this and several other communities in the district of Tumbaden with the goal of launching a larger project to address the critical water needs in this area. Check out my post on the Green Empowerment blog for more about the area.
