Drinking Water Tanks installation

By Alejandro Itkin | Board Member

Despite the pandemic, Sumando Manos Foundation continues to work in solidarity within the areas of critical need in Argentina.

The Local Communities in Salta, Chaco and Misiones are facing many challenges of all kinds, but the most important one is access to clean and safe drinking water. There is hardly any rainfall, which brings about a drought, so the families depend on the water provided by the municipality.

With your help! Sumando Manos Foundation will purchase, deliverer and install thirteen (13) 1000 liter tanks in 13 schools we regularly sponsor. With this action, we will help at least 600 students. The schools to sponsored in this campaign are as follows: es:

EX.EGB N°55-Anexo De La E.E.P N°157, Chaco, Paraje Rincon Del Zorro, La Leonesa
EEP 297, Chaco, Lote 39 Colonia El Aborigen El Aguara Machagai
EEP 862, Chaco, Lote 39 Colonia Aborigen, Zona Legisa Machagai
EEP 395, Chaco, Paraje Pampa Ombu Machagai
EEP 961 Sarapi Francisco Soria, Chaco, Pje. Central Norte, Miraflores
EEP 932, Chaco, Pje. Pozo El Algarrobo/Pje Las Margaritas, Miraflores
EEP 916 Juan Jose Castelli, Chaco, Paraje El Gramillar, Pampa Del Indio
Anexo EEP 916 Tomas Acevedo, Chaco, Paraje La Gloria, Pampa Del Indio
EEP 201 Soldado Victor Ofelio Ávalos, Chaco, Ruta Provincial N 4 Lote 8, Samuhu
EEP 371 “Ernesto Ocampo”, Chaco, Pje. El Baño, Villa Berthet
EEP 718 “Ex Combatientes De Malvinas”, Chaco, Lote 18, Villa Berthet
Unidad Ed. Albergue Batalla De Salta N° 4130, Salta, Rosario De La Frontera, Paraje Sta. Maria
ESC. 373/01 Guillermo Donaire, Misiones, Pje. El Boton, El Soberbio

From now on, when it rains, the tanks can be used to collect rain water and save it for future use and, in the event of a drought, the municipality can fill up the tanks and the families will avoid having to travel long distances for water.

For this reason, we are starting this campaign to raise US$ 5,200 to buy, transport, and install the tanks which will benefit more than 600 children.

We need your help to provide a solution to this sad reality.
