Papachacra, Bolivia - Assessment Trip

Our team recently returned from an assesesment trip to Papachacra, Bolivia. The team lived with the community for five days while studying their water supply. They found that there is currently a water deficit of 10,000 liters per day during the dry season. We are hoping that we can find an efficient and sustainable solution to help the community of Papachacra with their water problem.
