🏢 About the local organisation

PROJECT: Our project has the objective of improving access to drinking water and sanitation systems in communities in Oaxaca. This time, we are going to the municipality of San Juan Lachigalla (in Zapotec lachi, rooster flat, copal Llano de copal ). Where we will be supporting the design and construction of ecological bathrooms with ferrocement and bioconstruction, as well as the construction of rainwater harvesting systems. These activities will allow us to provide infrastructure that allows families to access water as well as provide sanitation systems with improved facilities through the construction of ecological dry toilets in homes. This camp is part of our formative programs, where you will be learning the different techniques through volunteering.
