objectives of our project
Water Filtration Systems
We have pledged to provide one water filtration system per year for the next 5 years.
- Filters exess flouride in the water at the school
- Excess flouride causes the children's teeth to discolor
- Fresh filtered water for all of the children at the school
- Families can fill their home water jugs at the school
- Approximate cost of each system: $5000.00

- Each despensa contains 5 lbs or rice, 5 lbs of sugar, 1 liter of oil, box of pasta, and tomato sauce.
- Each despensa contains a family size hygeine kit.
- Each despensa contains a full size blanket.
