Phase I of the Ccotataki Water project has reached the final stage of completion. The two reservoirs are now collecting water, and the channels that will carry water from the reservoirs to the irrigation fields are in place. Other successes include the refurbishing of a greenhouse for the Ccotataki school.
The reservoirs are collecting water and the water is beginning to become clear. The reservoirs will provide water to irrigate crops and support the community’s livestock during the dry season.

Workers create adobes that will be used to refurbish a greenhouse at the school. Heavy rains destroyed the first round of adobes, but dedicated and resilient community members rebuilt the adobes that will be used for the school and a new community greenhouse
Phase I is close to being completed, including the addition of a third reservoir to further expand water access and harvesting capacity. Thanks to the hard work and leadership of the Ccotataki community, and generous support from donors and dedicated volunteers, the project is well on its way to completion.
