- Summary
In Juarez there are many areas where the city does not provide basic services like running water and sewer, and in this areas the people has to bring the potable water in trucks making it very expensive for them, so in most cases they have to learn to live without using water for their daily needs. We provide storing tanks for potable water(25,000 lts each). They are enough to support a small colony of about 200 families, and the local governement provides the water.PartnershipPROJECT#08-005 District4110 Project NameThousand smiles Sponsor ClubJuarez Paso del Norte Total Cost20,000.00 Sponsor Participation:3,000.00 - Contact
