Form 990 Part III Line 4a - Program Service AccomplishmentsWater ProgramWe completed the construction of the first pilot Water Tower in Mibaya, Praia do Carapan Region, State of Acre, Brazil serving over 100 people. These facilities integrate water storage and wastewater management while preserving traditional community gathering spaces for water-related activities such as fetching, washing, and bathing. The Water Towers complement previously built solar-powered wells, ensuring a continuous supply of clean water. Water is stored in stainless steel tanks and distributed to sinks and showers. Gray water from washing and bathing undergoes natural filtration through a series of charcoal-based and organic material filters, supported by water-absorbent plants. Additionally, we developed monitoring guidelines for the Water Towers and a behavioral change strategy for the overall Water Program. We also conducted water sampling from previously built wells for analysis in a certified laboratory.
