Current Focus Project Location: Piaui, BRAZIL

Project Summary: This project will fund the acquisition and placement of a 15,000 liter watertank, as well as the drilling of a 100 meter water well. This shall provide drinkable water to the ever increasing surrounding community for many years to come. Water shall be used by a local community center being developed for placement of children so as the mothers and fathers may work to provide for other basic needs. Water shall also be provided directly to the surrounding houses through placement of pcv water pipes.The tank is filled daily by paid local functionaries of Let's Build Wells. All of this is provided free of charge to the local residents.

UPDATE: 2012- HAPPY NEW YEAR to all who have helped provide water these last few years. Due to unpreceented family growth in some of the project areas we now need to double the current water supply, as as to not have any water shortages! Please help in this expansion. We are still looking for any SOLAR ENERGY EQUIPMENT.

UPDATE#2: We have completed a new Water tank (15,000 liters) for the focus project and have placed it on top of a high nearby hill providing for strong clean water directly to the populace nearby. We are implementing an irrigation system also. Due to the high cost of electricity we are interested in any SOLAR PANELS or SOLAR EQUIPMENT to see if it is feasible to switch energy sources for the well pump. They would need to be sent to or obtained in Brazil.

UPDATE #3: The land has been acquired for an agricultural project! We are now needing: IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT- used or new. Donations, including equipment, are now tax deductible thanks to a recent IRS approval of our non-profit status. Monetary donations of course are also welcome in this great adventure. We plan on developing at least 10 acres for community farm needs with the upcoming drilled and available water.

UPDATE #4: We will soon be initiating a volunteer program for people wishing to help out directly. If interested please email us at the contact link.
