The dam and initial water tank above Pasmata has been finished.

The water flowing out of the pipe in the photo above is steady and clean, and we now have the funds to buy another mile of pipe and two more filter tanks so that this water reaches the people of Pasmata.
The people of Pasmata there will do all of the labor... we are buying materials and not handing out money.

Thank you to everyone who donated, but remember that we can always use funds for the next project we undertake.
