| Name | Latrines in San Martin, Nicaragua |
| Organization | El Porvenir |
| Location | San Martin, Nicaragua |
| Start date | Tuesday, March 1, 2025 |
| End date | Wednesday, June 1, 2025 |
| Project overview | San Martin has requested the help of El Porvenir to build 41 latrines. They have elected a project committee and agreed to provide the labor voluntarily as well as locally available materials. San Martin is vulnerable to disease—dysentery and diarrhea--because of the lack of sanitary facilities. The expected outcome of the project is improved health for the residents of San Martin, a reduction in cases of disease, prevention of water contamination, and decreased infant mortality. Through the project process, communities also have increased confidence as well as pride in their accomplishment. |
