Bringing clean water to Aminta and her family!

Aminta Martinez and her large family (5 adults and 5 children – the youngest is one years old) share a small wooden house in the back of the Miskitu Indian village of Kahkabila. Her husband is a fisherman and Aminta is, like most women in the village, dedicated to raising her children and taking care of the house.

Being the person in charge of hauling the water and cooking, Aminta is well aware of her responsibility to keep her family healthy: “This is a good hygiene project. I am glad I could benefit from a filter; now I know that the water my children and family drink is safe. Other people from the community that could not build their filter at the same time now want to get one.”

Thank you so much James and Julie for helping support Aminta and her family! Aminta is really happy to know her family will be much safer now with clean drinking water. She would not have been able to make this happen if it were not for the generocity of you both. Thank you!
