Our Partnership with EOS International

Over 28 million Central Americans lack safe drinking water. Safe and accessible drinking water is a fundamental human right, yet one of the greatest threats to human health, responsible for over 3.4 million deaths worldwide every year, most of them children. Each year, these deaths could be avoided if the risk factors associated with unsafe drinking water were addressed. Without safe drinking at home, in schools, and in places of work, it is disproportionately harder to lead safe, productive, healthy lives.

Through our partnership with EOS International, 40 rural communities in Honduras are receiving technical assistance, community capacity building, and water quality monitoring. EOS uses a “Circuit Rider” model, in which water technicians provided monthly support to each community.  Over the course of the project year, 16,000 Hondurans will be impacted with improved water quality and capacity to repair and maintain community water systems!
