| Description | El Porvenir, "the future," is a small nonprofit organization dedicated to sustainable development in rural Nicaragua. Communities that lack clean drinking water and sanitation request and receive our support for self-help construction of village wells, spring capture systems, lavanderos, and latrines. Villagers provide all the labor on a volunteer basis, and El Porvenir provides financing and transportation for the materials to construct the project. We also support reforestation projects in the communities which have successfully carried out a water or sanitation project, to preserve the water table on which the wells depend. |
