Honduras Water Project
I hope you all had an enjoyable and restful Christmas and New Year. It has been a busy time for me also, with trips to Honduras and other important IA water initiatives taking place during the holidays, as well as time spent with my family.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I was in Honduras for a couple days before Christmas for a special meeting requested by the Honduran First Lady. She presented me with a replica check for $175,000, a generous donation that will cover the cost for 11,000 HydrAid™ water filters.

This presentation was on national television and included a speech from the First Lady where she identified the provision of clean water as one of her top priorities.
The government of Honduras has conducted a very detailed survey in which they identified almost 300,000 households who still need clean water. The Honduran leadership recognizes the country’s great need for clean, safe water, and knows the impact it will have on community health. It is great to see how committed the Honduran First Lady is to this important cause. International Aid is so eager to help, and we have a team in Honduras now that is already starting a new round of filter installations.
This contribution is the great beginning of much more good to come!
