Mission
El Porvenir assists people in rural communities in Nicaragua to better the condition of life through sustainable development in clean water, sanitation, reforestation, and health education.
Goals
We focus on providing clean drinking water, adequate sanitation, reforestation, and community health education to:
- Improve the quality of life of people and families in Nicaragua through lower incidences of water and sanitation related diseases and mortalities
- Improve the quality of life of women and children who carry water great distances, sometimes more than a mile, by helping them construct water projects closer to their homes
- Improve people's quality of life through basic human dignity
- Protect the water tables the water projects draw from
- Teach people about co-existing in harmony with their local environment and how to use existing resources sustainably
- Improve the quality of women and children's lives and health through the construction of improved stoves that use less firewood and remove hazardous smoke from the kitchens
- Ensure that Nicaraguans learn to care for the infrastructure and learn hygiene techniques that will keep them healthy
