We work in rural dispersed communities in La Concordia and San Rafael Municipalities in Nicaragua and although 59% of people have access to basic and safely managed water service, this figure hides poor water quality and frequent breakdowns. To ensure sustainability, Water For People works with district governments to construct piped water systems. We conduct trainings on topics like tariff collection, water quality and treatment, protection of watersheds, and system maintenance and monitoring. Promoting better and more sustainable water quality, Water For People helped establish two water treatment plants that use basic technology that require limited resources to operate. In Nicaragua, Water For People pioneered the microfinance approach for sanitation and built the initiative on partnerships with local microfinance institutions that we train to offer loans for sanitation improvements. With these loans, families who otherwise couldn’t afford sanitation improvements are able to provide safer sanitation options. We also ensure that any necessary bathroom products are available locally, and businesses exist to construct improved bathrooms. Water For People is improving water, sanitation, and hygiene programs in schools and training parent-teacher associations to maintain the new infrastructure. Borrowing from our Guatemala programming, we helped implement Hygiene Corners in classrooms, which allow teachers to integrate hygiene-focused activities into their daily lessons. Support of the work in Nicaragua is key to ensuring sustainable, reliable clean water and sanitation systems to improve the lives of Nicaraguans for generations.
