Adopt-a-Village has partnered with nine Rotary Clubs to provide eleven water and sanitary facilities in single teacher rural schools in the Santo Domingo area of Ecuador . These schools are in the country side area, and unfortunately there are many without water which is essential to keep the children in good health. While each location may have a unique set of needs, the usual solution is to construct a block sanitary facility consisting of male and female restrooms, a shower for the teacher who usually lives at and watches over the school, and hand washing stations. Water is treated as necessary for domestic use purposes. In some instances a well must be added or the existing one improved. Students benefit from the project through increased awareness of the link between intestinal parasitism and lack of proper hand washing, reductions in spreading of Hepatitis "A" virus and raised awareness within the community of the benefits of clean water for the total population.
The value of the total project is $41,000.
