Healthy Schools Program:
Global Water funds many school projects throughout Central America in partnership with local Non-Governmental Organizations and often with the assistance of Peace Corps volunteers. There is a continual need for school related water projects throughout Central America and therefore we cannot list specific projects on our website. Global Water is always funding Healthy School Projects (as indicated in our Current Projects Page) so if you would like to donate specifically to a school project, please contact us for further information. The following depicts typical Healthy School Project information: |

Latrine Fund:
There is a vast ongoing need to fund latrines throughout Central America in order to improve sanitary conditions near home-sites and in communities. Funding for latrine building is relatively difficult since water projects are much more popular to support. Global Water funds latrine building along with most of its water projects, but often, there is not enough money to do both and we are unable to build enough latrines for the entire community. Therefore, Global Water has established a Latrine Fund specifically to support sanitation projects throughout Central America. The following depicts typical latrine building information: |
This is an ongoing fund to purchase latrines for Central America |

Water Wells:
Global Water is always seeking funds for water well drilling projects in African countries, since there is an ongoing need to drill water wells there. We partner with NGOs that usually own their own well drilling equipment, thereby making our well drilling projects as cost effective as possible. If you would like to donate to a well drilling project in a particular country, please contact us for further information. The following depicts typical water well drilling information: |
