Water for the People

Fifty percent of the population of Honduras lives below the poverty level, and nearly half of the rural population does not have access to clean water for drinking, bathing and cooking. Agua para el Pueblo (APP or "Water for the People") is a non-profit organization founded in 1984 dedicated to providing clean water systems to villages all over Honduras. To date, APP has completed 839 water treatment systems, benefiting communities all over the region.

In early Spring 2010, a team of St. James' missioners worked hand-in-hand with a team from APP, and village residents of Castanales, Honduras, to dig trenches which bring disinfected water to their village, thus permanently changing the lives of the 19 families living in this remote community.
