It is our pleasure to inform you that Ramboll Fonden (Ramboll’s charitable organization) has decided to support our Water Project to the tune of 330,000 Danish Krones. That is a little over $50,000 US dollars! Many thanks to Ramboll for the very generous support, without which we could not supply the community of Las Majadas with clean drinking water. With this support, we plan to complete the Pump, Electricity, and Chlorination portion of our Water Project.

Conduction Line is currently in Phase 1, where CAD drawings are being revised and valve locations are chosen.
Distribution lines have been modeled in EPA net and have received feedback and will be revised per feedback received.
