Having shown that the AguaClara technology is successful in Honduras, we plan to expand to additional municipalities in Honduras and to begin extending to other countries in Latin America. Our goal is that AguaClara plants serving a total of at least 15,000 people be constructed in Honduras by the summer of 2009. Our partner in Honduras, Agua Para el Pueblo, will need financing of approximately $300,000 to meet this goal. Recognizing the global demand for this technology, we seek to develop a network of regional partners Implementation Partners who are dedicated to knowledge transfer and capacity building and who can help disseminate the technology in other countries. Our growth model emphasizes South to South spread with strategic North to South collaborations. We propose holding a workshop in Tegucigalpa, Honduras this summer to meet with NGOs from Latin America and to begin the training process with new regional partners. Our 3 year plan includes starting a second launch site in Africa or Asia.
