While 81% of rural Peruvians have access to basic and safely managed water service, these figures do not reflect access to clean water critical for handwashing to prevent the spread of diseases like COVID-19. Water For People works in two districts to construct piped water supply systems that are managed by communities. Alongside district government partners, we train community water committees on topics like calculating tariffs, reading micrometers, testing water quality, and maintaining water systems. These trainings help ensure sustainability of water systems for all community members. Rather than spending hours fetching water, clean water nearby means women and children can pursue education or productive activities. In Peru, we support microfinance institutions that provide loans for household sanitation improvement. We help make sure sanitation products are locally available and masons are trained to construct bathrooms to ensure families can invest in improved bathrooms. In 2013, we created a water, sanitation, hygiene, and water resources management curriculum that is being used in schools. Today, this curriculum is being used across schools in both Cascas and Asunción. Your support goes beyond building water systems. It provides communities with health and hygiene education and to strengthen local government and communities to maintain, finance, and monitor these systems without aid. This support is key to ensuring sustainable, reliable clean water and sanitation systems to improve the lives of Perú for generations.
