In Santa Rosa, there were 65 families, so we implemented a community assembly to listen to everyone and reach a consensus. Through the construction of cisterns, we also learned that we don’t need big technologies to tackle big problems.

Having the cisterns and roofs to collect and store water helps us a lot. I use the water for drinking, washing, and dyeing the threads for my work, as I am a weaver.

In rural areas, with dispersed and distant homes, you need to think creatively for a solution that differs from the city’s. However, it’s something that can be solved in a relatively simple technical way and truly changes the lives and daily routines of each person. It enables access to a fundamental human right like water, saving time and effort.

They started bringing the materials, and I didn't know if I was dreaming. EWB kept their word. Before, we used to buy water to drink. And now, we don't spend on that anymore.
