Jinotega, Nicaragua | Water Mission

In June, HWC kicked off it’s clean water focus with two graduate student volunteers facilitating focus groups and completing household surveys to address clean water issues in several rural Jinotega communities. The volunteers also performed, analyzed, and evaluated the quality of water samples from the participating communities. The ultimate goal is to improve water quality and reduce the dangers of water-borne illness. Ms Ortiz returned in 2017 by completing an in-depth needs assessment in 13 communities.

“I am so grateful for the experience and even more grateful that the work we've done is already having
an impact. I am beyond humbled.”
