Give Clean Water

As little as $56 per day gives one household clean water!

Water changes lives.

Think of how many times you’ve used water today without thinking about it. Washing your hands. Drinking. Cleaning your dishes. And yet, clean water is a luxury that so many don’t have. Sadly, 31% of rural Nicaraguans do not have access to safe drinking water.[1] The consequences of dirty water are countless, killing more people annually than all forms of violence, including war.

That’s where Pipeline comes in.

We rely on Pipeline to see our water projects through from digging the first trench to turning on the water.

“Our greatest hope is that water would become a resource that is appreciated and used abundantly as opposed to a scarcity that has to be fought for. We want to see future generations capable of managing the challenges of their water systems in a responsible and sustainable way.”

Josh Pease, Local Director

It’s more than a well.

Our uniqueness is found in the process. There are four key components that make a SuNica water project stand out (and the pipeworks are only the beginning):

Piped-on-Premises Water

This isn’t just a well, it’s a full on water system providing clean water piped onto the property of every home in the community. Piping water to each home means that family members don't have to spend time harvesting water every day, giving them more time to love and provide for their families.

Establishing a Public Works Department

These are the folks who will manage the system, read meters, and issue and enforce the payment of water bills each month. We spend one full year preparing these leaders for the project before we even break ground. These elected officials will be responsible for maintaining the system after this two-year project is complete.

Community Buy-In

While 90% or more of the actual cost is provided by SuNica donors like you, each family in the community is required to purchase their water meter (cost is about $40US and can be paid over a two year period). The community must also put in some serious sweat equity to install the pipeworks alongside the SuNica Water Team.

The PRA Process

Perhaps the most important aspect of all is the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) selection process. Nerd out on the details and read how we go about selecting our next water project.
