Success Story - Las Vueltas

Dona Arcadia de la comunidad de las Vueltas, es una madre soltera que tiene 3 hijas adolescentes. Antes, ellas debian ir a traer agua hasta la quebrada, esto era peligroso porque el camino es solo y la distancia muy larga.

En la actualidad Dona Arcadia y sus hijas tienen agua en su casa a traves de una puesto domiciliar.

"Ahora ya no me preocupo por lo que les pueda pasar algo a mis chavalas en el camino y sobretodo el agua es mejor: - Dona Arcadia

In the community of Las Vueltas is a single mother named Arcadia who has three young daughters. Before EP's project, they would journey to get their water from a river gorge. It was dangerous because it was a very long isolated path to the river.

Now, after working with EP, the family has water in their house.

"Now, our water is better and I don't have to worry that something could happen to my daughters on that journey to get water" - Arcadia

World Water Day 2010 in Wiwilí, Jinotega, Nicaragua

As we mentioned earlier, we carried out some activities to promote World Water Day (March 22) in some areas, such as Wiwilí where we coordinated with local government and our partner Water for People. In Wiwilí, the staff got some schoolkids involved to do a little parade around town.

This banner talks about World Water Day and how clean water will make a healthier Nicaragua and a healther world.


This other banner talks about the importance of nature and trees, and how without trees, there is no rain. The water we have tomorrow depends on how we conserve today.

An important message from Nicaragua to all of us. Don't forget to check out the new look for our web page as well.
