Project Update

As you all know, this space has been a bit quiet over the past several weeks. Spring is a busy time here at Water Missions as we hold our annual Walk for Water on World Water Day every year. This year was especially busy as we had an estimated 5,000 people walk in solidarity with those around the world who have to walk far distances everyday to access water. Sometimes this water isn't even safe to drink. Water Missions International is transforming communities and changing lives every day. Together, we're solving the global water crisis community by community. The walk raised more than $250,000 for safe water and sanitation projects. This includes the work you supported on ecological sanitation in Honduras.

As we move through the many phases of this project we plan to periodically update this space to let you all know how things are progressing - not only on how the data is shaping up but to also get into the nuts and bolts of our project design and scientific process. Because of your donation, we are able to see this study through each cycle. That is an amazing gift and we can't thank you enough.

In addition to regular updates, we will soon be announcing the schedule for our webinar, one-on-one Skype conversations, and private tour of Water Missions HQ to those who gave eligible donations. We're excited to share our preliminary results with you once we continue combing through and organizing the data, and answer any questions you may have.

Thank you again for your support - we couldn't have done this without you!

Stay tuned!

About This Project

Water Missions International

The project includes construction of 80 household latrines in two Honduran communities. In the pilot we are conducting baseline surveys with families on sanitation and hygiene practices, authoritative sources of knowledge, and what factors they consider important in their toilet. This will help development practitioners to understand the risks and success indicators for ecological models of sanitation.
