Maria and her family no longer contaminated drinking contaminated water

Maria and her husband Ronald live in Bluefields, Nicaragua. The couple has two children, a thirteen-year-old girl named Maria and a twelve-year-old boy named Ronald. Maria’s filter is particularly useful during the summertime when the well level falls and the water becomes more contaminated. The addition of the filter in their household has helped eradicate this contamination problem. The family now filters the well water and once filtered, the water is always very clear. When asked how she is liking the filter, Maria Elena responded that “the filter is great, I like it a lot. It changed our lives”.
