My Nonprofit Reviews

This is a very effective nonprofit with extremely low overhead. Volunteer engineers use their own vacation time to provide expertise and follow up for simple water systems for communities in Latin America. It is one of the few water organizations that concentrates on this part of the world (only 10% of funding for water projects is designated for Latin America). The communities themselves raise a portion of the money for system materials; they also gather material (such as gravel) and perform the non-skilled labor. WEFTA only works where it is invited, and it has a growing number of requests for assistance due to word of mouth. A great nonprofit to support because the WEFTA's follow-up visits to check on the systems mean they will provide potable water and/or basic sanitation for generations to come.
