2020 | Bolivia | Water issue adressed: Too dirty

Training for 20 low-income families from peripheral neighborhoods of the city of Cobija for the design and construction of greywater and rainwater purification modules, using Brazil nut and coconut shells

This project seeks to improve the health of 20 low-income families from peripheral neighborhoods of the city of Cobija who will have access to an alternative for self-management of greywater and rainwater. This project will ensure access to low-cost drinking water according to standards for water quality for human consumption in Bolivia. We seek to train 20 low-income families from peripheral neighborhoods of the city of Cobija for the design and construction of greywater and rainwater purification modules using Brazil nut and coconut shells. The material is easy to obtain since the nuts grow naturally in the Amazonian area of the department of Pando.
