The First Lady of Honduras
I am visiting Honduras this week for a special meeting with the Honduran First Lady. Having witnessed our water-related work in one of the country’s villages earlier this year, she was moved to present us with a donation of $175,000. Those funds will go a long way to help ensure that the impact of IA’s HydrAid™ water filters will continue to grow.
Access to safe, clean drinking water is a critical issue in Honduras, especially in rural areas. I found this great overview on the Honduran water supply on Wikipedia:

It is great that the political leadership of Honduras is taking such an active role in addressing this crisis. We’ve already sent many mission teams to install HydrAid™ filters. This donation will help us to do so much more.
More to come on Honduras when I am back in the U.S.
