Summary: Water Purification Plant in a school in Nueva Rosita Coahuila Mexico

This project will benefit Elementary School Escuela Ignacio Zaragoza in Nueva Rosita Coahuila Mexico. The school is located in a city's poor neighborhood. We will install a water purification system of reverse osmosis. The school will receive the water purification system completely installed, tested and working. The school and PTA compromises to maintain, operate and secure the equipment at the school. The water purification system supplier will train school maintenance personnel. The Rotary Club of Nueva Rosita Centenario will create a water environmental group with teachers, parents and student to provide information and instruction about the water purification system. The high temperatures reached in this city are 104 to 110 degrees for 150 days in the year. Children get dehydrated, sick from gastrointestinal illnesses and there is a high index of children with diabetes as is cheaper to buy a soda or juice than water. This purification system will benefit the school's population, children, schoolteachers, staff and their families every day providing drinking water at no cost. The water purification system is a local supplier who has installed their systems thru Mexico. This Water Purification System will be installed by late October 2022.
The total cost of the system is $6,000 including a room where the water storage tank and water filters are located. It includes the water fountain. The funds for this grant will be added to other humanitarian grants and donations received by Rotary Club Nueva Rosita Centenario.
