Project Description

Region: North America

Country: Puerto Rico

Location: Patillas, P.R.

Total Budget: $80,161

Area of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene


The project aims to strengthen equitable access to water supply and improve hygiene and sanitation conditions in the communities of Barrio Marín in Patillas, Puerto Rico. In addition, to provide a water filtration system, the project seeks to improve the health of this community by providing filtered water and thus avoid dependence on the purchase of bottled water for consumption.

The project consists of the installation of two filtration systems that operate with solar and wind energy that will allow the community to have access to drinking water in two communal areas. The system will be installed by H2Opendoors, a foundation that specializes in the installation of these systems throughout the world. In addition to the installation of the systems, training will be offered to four people per filtration system, who will be in charge of the maintenance and conservation of the system.

El proyecto pretende fortalecer el acceso equitativo al suministro de agua y mejorar las condiciones de higiene y saneamiento de las comunidades del Barrio Marín en Patillas, Puerto Rico. Además, de proveer un sistema de filtración de agua, el proyecto busca mejorar la salud de esta comunidad al proveerles agua filtrada y así evitar la dependencia de la compra de agua embotellada para el consumo.

El proyecto consiste en la instalación de dos sistemas de filtración que operan con energía solar y eólica que permitirá a la comunidad tener acceso a área potable en dos áreas comunales. El sistema será instalado por H2Opendoors, una fundación que se especializa en la instalación de estos sistemas a través de todo el mundo.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
