Clean Water for Puerto Alegria, Peru

300 people in the San Jose community face a daily choice no one should make: risk disease from contaminated water or risk drowning in a dangerous river.

The Morona River—their only water source—was poisoned by an oil spill and ignored by those responsible. Women and children walk treacherous paths to collect water tainted with lead and cadmium. In 2023, two-year-old Dalila slipped from the riverbank while her parents collected water. The current swept her away. She was never found.

The solution is simple: One borehole well with a hand pump. Safe, clean water that stays clean.

$15,000 provides 300 people with:

Protection from waterborne diseases
Safety from drowning during water collection
Time reclaimed for school and work
A future where no parent loses a child to thirst

Every family in Puerto Alegria will have access to this well. Local leaders will maintain it. The impact will last for generations.
