APP may be interested in this. I don't think it could be used to construct plants, but may be applicable for further research about the impact of the plants on water quality, health, etc.

project areas description

$15,000-$325,000

contact EPA Grants Administration Division

no info

This announcement is really confusing, but it mentions as one of its objectives "International Capacity Building (water safe to drink)"... there may not currently be grants offered in that area, but I think it would be worth keeping an eye on, and maybe enquiring about to get more information.

USAID Public Private Alliance Program

USAID

Pogram Description

no specified limit

submit concept paper to Honduras mission

none, concept papers reviewed periodically

This program looks really interesting. They recommend interested applicants contact the mission first to make sure the project is in line with the missions objectives before submitting a concept paper. It requires "resource leverage" on a 1:1 ratio... at least some of which must be in cash. We would need to specify exactly what our resources are, i.e. technical expertise, knowledge, service hours, etc.
