More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Segovia is a community located on the outskirts of La Esperanza, Honduras. Approximately 74 families, 400 people live in Segovia. The majority of residents use an existing well for drinking, laundry and meal preparation that is heavily contaminated while others (mostly women and children) spend a large portion of their days gathering water from other sources. This project will provide infrastructure to protect and purify a new well, bringing clean, protected water directly to their homes.
Activities
A topographic and health survey plus water quality tests were taken. A new well and storage tank are being built with a distribution system to provide access to clean potable water at every house. More efficient stoves and latrines will follow after.

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
The EWB SCFL chapter has made a 5 year commitment to the community of Segovia. Our goal is to help improve the health and quality of life of the local families through the provision of a clean potable water source and drainage and sanitation systems.
Project Message
“Water touches every aspect of this community. Water treatment and sanitation reduce disease and infant mortality and delivery frees mothers to care for their families and daughters to attend school.”
- Eric Max, EWB SCFL Team Member
