Review for El Porvenir, Broomfield, CO, USA
El Porvenir's vision is clear and executed well. Starting with a mission of clean water for rural Nicaragua, they saw how sanitation, deforestation and a lack of education on these issues was impacting their clean water mission. They expanded their work to address these issues to support sustainable sources of clean water.
With only a one in-country gringo and a few stateside, they built an organization run by Nicaraguans, designed their mission as technical assistance to a local community that has an active role in their project. El Porvenir follows up with the community on each project and uses simple technology that can be maintained locally and is sustainable.
Volunteers can get involved in work projects that are well organized, informative, and transformative.
Overhead is low so donations have a big impact on the people it is intended to help

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Increase their visibility in developed nations so that El Provenir would have more money to assist more rural Nicaraguans.
