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.

At the core of Vera Aqua Vera Vita’s project implementation is W.A.S.H. oriented solutions that look to holistically improve the lives of those it touches by securing clean Water and Sanitation Hygiene (W.A.S.H.). As a grassroots nonprofit, it is vital that Vera Aqua Vera Vita not only strive towards W.A.S.H. solutions but provides the community with the knowledge and tools necessary for its future implementation as well.

Since March of 2020, the VAVV team has been collaborating to create material for a W.A.S.H Education Program and is now proud to announce the completion of a W.A.S.H. Workshop!

Imagine that you wake up, go to the bathroom and it won’t work then you turn on the faucet and nothing happens. Imagine going to your favorite Starbucks to get a boost for the day just to realize that there is no more water to make your coffee.

Water is certainly the most abundant resource in the world. After all, 71% of the earth’s surface is covered by water. It seems then paradoxical to say that despite its abundance, by 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas.

Closely related to the Ilamas but much smaller, the alpaca is a domesticated species of South American camelid descended from the vicuna. Although alpacas are mostly raised for their soft and luxurious fleece, they constitute a savory traditional Peruvian food.
