Review for El Porvenir, Broomfield, CO, USA
I have been a member of the board since 2007, but I have known of El Porvenir since 2001. The organization's goal and approach is to be admired as it makes a concerted effort to involve local poor communities as key decision makers in improving the water and sanitation conditions. After 20 years, it is going strong in some of the poorest communities in Nicaragua. It is inspiring to go on any of the many work brigades and help a local community build a well, a wash-station or even latrines. No words can express the gratitude and appreciation that communities show toward work brigade participants and to El Porvenir; this is a true sign of benefitial impact of this worthy organization.
