The Challenge Fund assisted 225 residents living in the foothills north of Nagua to benefit from the construction of a new potable water system for their community.
Song created and sung by the school children of Los Guayuyos at the dedication of the project
“Los Guayuyos tiene lo que no tenia:
Llaves en cada casa y agua en tuberia!”
“Los Guayuyos has what it didn’t have before:
Faucets in every house and water from the pipes!”
Prior to the project, the community had carried their drinking and cooking water in 5 gallon containers from a source two miles away.
In partnership with the community and other community development agencies, PCV William Boykin-Morris assisted the village of coconut and cacao farmers to plan and develop a new water supply system. With the help of the CCF grant, the community installed two miles of pipe and constructed individual household connections. A $1,987 CCF grant was supported by a contribution of $980 in community labor and materials.
