CLOSING THE WATER GAP

The community of Villa del Sur does not have any access to running water nor sewerage. In this arid and hard territory as is La Guajira, the absence of water has becomes fatal for some communities. VENtanas became involved in July 2022, supplying drinking water weekly, that up to March of 2023, about 800,000 liters of water had been dispersed in the community tanks.

An additional tank was installed on March 2023, in alliance with Pastoral Social and Europana, and we started the program of self-sustainability. VENtanas organized a water committee to manage the water supply by families. Our objective for 2023 is the installation of additional tanks throughout the community as it continues to grow and what is presently there does not suffice the need. Simultaneously, provide the teachings about the importance of a self-sustaining community.
