Leer en español By Alexis Limberakis, Director – Environmental Sustainability & Andreina Febres, Safe Water Project Manager We recently returned from another visit to Tambogrande, Peru to facilitate the installation of community bleach dispensers and educate the public on the importance of safe water practices.

Safe Water Project – Reflections from My First Community Visits

Community promoter treating the water in rural Peru. Leer en español In December, I traveled to Peru to visit the four communities that currently participate in the Clorox Safe Water Project. Before my trip, I had seen many photos of the people who live in the villages from my colleagues’ previous trips or through our videos (Bringing Safe Water to Tambogrande and Safe Water for Sara). These videos really gave me a clear image of what their lives and their days look like.

Safe Water Project – Visiting the Villages of Northern Peru

  Leer in español This post was written by Andrea Ginsberg, project manager for the Clorox Safe Water pilot project. Last month, my colleague Alexis and I spent a day in each of the four rural communities using Clorox® bleach to disinfect their drinking water. It was an experience I will never forget. At the start of our first day, we gathered with the women of one community as they collected water from the public tank for their families. We stood under an aluminum roof — a thin shield we installed to protect against the blazing sun — and learned just how…
