Because the plastic water tank of the community of Mata de Caña ruptured in late 2025, the people have been pulling water directly from the well, which we were able to clean out and replace the pump for in 2025 April. This has meant requiring water to be carried home by wagons and, the women, on their heads! Finally, with the help of Amigos for Christ, Somos Ohana Nicaragua is providing the funds and local contracted workers are building a good, long-lasting metal water tank to be placed on the sturdy existing tower. Pipes will again deliver water into homes, something that is still a luxury in much of rural Nicaragua.
