School: Presentación Centeno Location: Lajas, Yarula, La Paz, Honduras Benefitted Population: 187 students & 6 teachers Project Review Our implementing partner, Cova, will install a water treatment system, ‘Sistema Combinado’ or Combined System in English, to purify the water in the school. This system consists of a two-step process: first, the reduction of water turbidity (cleaning the water so it looks crystal clear), and second, treating the bacteria to ensure it is safe to drink. This system will serve as a mini-water treatment plant, reducing turbidity levels and killing any bacteria in the water. Cova technicians will install this system […]
