Our Progress

Influent and effluent water collected at the plant in Cuatro Comunidades.
The first AguaClara plant began producing clean water in the community of [La 34] in July 2005, and today there are plants located in Ojojona, Marcala, Tamara, and Cuatro Comunidades, all in Honduras.
Current Goals
null
We have set our goals to raising $45,000 dollars for a facility for the community of Agalteca. For less than $20 per person served, this community can gain access to safe water. We ask that you now consider helping the people of Agalteca, and that you continue to invest in innovation.
[Why donate?] Our work is only possible through the generous contributions of our sponsors. We require continuous funding to develop the most efficient and cost effective drinking water treatment plants. Our implementation [partners] also need support to build these plants. If you are interested in becoming a supporter there are multiple options for [making a donation].
