Project Description Region: Central America Country: Dominincan Republic Location: Monseñor Nouel Total Budget: $32,819 Areas of Focus: Peacebuilding and conflict prevention, The environment The Rainwater Harvesting Project in Monseñor Nouel, Dominican Republic, aims to significantly improve the quality of life for approximately 160 families by facilitating access to and storage of water. This initiative not only provides a vital solution for daily consumption and essential activities, but also strengthens community cohesion and prevents conflicts by reducing the need to travel long distances for water. We will implement a rainwater collection system with outdoor, above-ground storage tanks, in collaboration with our partner, Servicio Para la Paz. Additionally, an educational campaign will be conducted to teach inhabitants about efficient water use, hygiene practices, and the importance of environmental care. This educational aspect will be complemented by water dispensers with filters, provided by the organization Wine to Water, thus ensuring access to potable water. This project not only addresses water and sanitation needs but also contributes to environmental conservation and empowers the community through education and active participation in managing their natural resources.
