For the last couple of years we have been helping a small NGO in the United States called Global Partners Running Waters (GPRW) with the preparation for fund-raising of a series of small projects in Guatemala.
RPW was founded in 2003 to build relationships with Central American communities through collaboration on water, food, and health projects. The primary focus has been on helping communities build water systems. Since 2001 GPRW through its Executive Director Sister Jan Gregorcich SSND has helped fund:
- 40 village water systems
- 7 agricultural projects, most involving provision of farm animals
- 6 health projects
- 5 education project
The design and implementation of GPRW’s community water projects is done by a strong local NGO Caritas – Pastoral Social. This organization has supervised the construction of more than 150 water supply systems over the last 14 years. In the process, they have developed huge experience in all aspects of water supply, from system planning and design to execution, including community development, health, hygiene and sanitation training.
Summaries of the six GPRW projects, and one other, done for CasaSito, another local NGO, are available as .pdf files as follows:
1. Chinanton
2. Los Llanos
3. Pujerja
4. Pajaro de Plata
5. Rijuyup
6. Sector Oriente
7. Pacaxcoj & Chocantariy (CasaSito)
