The First Trip
In the summer of 2023, we were able to do our very first assessment trip to Piriquina. Six UTA students went to Bolivia and teamed up to start this initiative. We were able to get a better insight of their needs, such as these:
- Not enough clean water: Water for drinking and hygiene is only available for about 3-4 hours during the whole day.
- Farming Struggles: For many residents of Piriquina, farming is their main source of income. Without enough water, the community is not able to feed their animals and/or grow their crops.
