Water Systems Provide Immediate Relief for Bolivia - OB.org

BARADOR, Bolivia -- The hot, muggy weather was making a bad situation worse for Maria and her children. The family had just lost their home and crops to recent floods and now living in temporary housing made from plastic sheets and a tin roof. They were one of 1,000 families forced to leave their homes due to the rising floodwaters. Many Bolivians are in need of assistance in the wake of the floods, and one of the most important needs is access to clean drinking water.

Operation Blessing, in partnership with Water Missions International and DHL installed two water purification system in Barador. Combined, the two units purify 20,000 gallons of clean water a day in providing relief for the communities in Bolivia.
