Review for El Porvenir, Broomfield, CO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have supported El Porvenir for close to 20 years, ever since I learned about its work with rural communities in Nicargua. I deeply believe in EP's work because (1) it involves the basic human needs of clean water and sanitation, (2) it uses a self-help approach, (3) its projects are sustainable , and (4) it operates on a very slim budget. EP's staff members live in the regions it serves and have a long term relationship with the communities. I have visited various of the communites and witnessed how deeply appreciative the people are of EP's help.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

I would strive to expand its ability to serve more communities.

Role:  Board Member & I am a board member. I started an auxiliary group in Denver, I have visited Nicaragua and the projects several times.
