To see the full impact of what sustainable, clean water can do for a community, VAVV explores data from Monte Castillo. Before our clean water project, this community of 7,000+ people was forced to use and drink water from highly contanimated brown water that strongly resembled chocolate milk in color. Now, they have reilable aaccess to abundant, clean water. Read this article to see the real impact clean water has on a community!

This October, the Vera Aqua Vera Vita Planning and Engineering team has been persevering in coordination with authorities in Piura, Peru to secure final approval for water rights, power supply, and use of the Pan-American highway Right of Way (ROW) for the waterline crossing for Las Mercedes KM11’s clean water project.

Vera Aqua Vera Vita (VAVV) is getting excited to start construction on Las Mercedes KM11’s clean water solution. VAVV is in the final stages of acquiring construction permits from various governing bodies in Piura with hopes of attaining final approvals in the next month or so!

Vera Aqua Vera Vita has been hard at work throughout the end of September and October. Though we’re still over 5 months away from starting construction, logistics are well underway for project solutions for both Cerro de Leones and Las Mercedes KM11!

As the engineering team working non-stop to get everything in order to break ground on construction in early 2022, the two Piura projects have seen a lot of progress since our last update. With geophysical assessments having been completed and topographic evaluations underway, we hope the upcoming weeks hold even more progress and development!

From the beginning, VAVV has strived to leverage partners throughout the private & public sector to build our capacity as an organization, improve our designs, tell our story, improve our operations, and provide critical expertise on topics such as strategic planning, fundraising, and project & program delivery. Earlier this year, we were able to do just that by enaging a new partner from the world of data analytics and visualization by the name of Viz for Social Good, an organization that brings together skilled volunteers in the data viz community to visualize impact and tell stories for nonprofits using data.

VAVV is excited to share the 2020 Annual Report, including a 2020 Year-in-Review and a detailed vision for 2021! Through an unprecedented year, VAVV did as much as possible to continue to meet the need for water, only worsened by the pandemic. Looking into 2021, VAVV hopes to continue Phase II (Sanitary Sewer System) developments in Monte Castillo and finish Phase I (Clean Water Supply/Access) developments for 2-3 new, rural communities.

Today, Nov. 3, 2020 marks the exciting commencement of Vera Aqua Vera Vita’s (VAVV) efforts to officially begin serving seven new communities in the Piura Region of Peru. The assessment phase of the project implementation process gets underway today.

After great success serving the community of Monte Castillo with the installation of a water treatment facility among other sustainable W.A.S.H. initiatives, VAVV now lends a much-needed hand to seven new communities within the Piura Region.
