Clean Water Program

In the Dominican Republic, tap water is not recommended to be used for drinking as it can carry harmful bacteria and parasites.  Clean water must be purchased and extra precautions should be taken when cooking and cleaning.

Solid Rock International is partnering with First Presbyterian Church of Nashville, Tennessee to install a clean water dispensing station at the CCED school in San Juan to provide the residents of the surrounding barrios clean drinking water at a fair price.

The system under consideration is one developed by Living Waters for the World.  Education and proper hygiene are a main focus during the training to use the filtration system. Once this first system is installed, SRI would like to expand the program to the area of El Cercado.
