OUR PARTNERS

Marea Alta

El Salvador | Isla Cordoncillo
Just Water
Isla Cordoncillo is home to 270 people, 160 of which are young children. The men on the island are primarily artisan fishermen who fish to feed their families. The island is completely without services such as electricity, clean fresh water, sewage and garbage disposal, health care, etc. Clean water is one of the most basic needs for human beings. The island has ground water but it is not safe to drink due to the lack of proper sewage disposal, salt water intrusion, and other pollution sources. Now, families must take plastic containers across the estuary by canoe to purchase clean water. The primary goal is to provide access to safe drinking water.
