Tribal Vision hasn't added a story.
Clean water is critical to the people of Paoyhan. This Shipibo tribe has insufficient access to clean water. The current system within the village is built to provide water for only a quarter of the inhabitants. The water they utilize is pumped from a deep well beneath the Earth. It cannot meet the demands of the village for clean water. This leaves many families without a continual water supply.
When the rainy season arrives the entire village floods including the water system. The Shipibo have used the waterways as a source of livelihood and survival forever. The flooding that occurs, brings with it contamination from outside influences such as gas and oil mining. Throughout January-April, the tribe has no other option but to drink and fish from these polluted waterways. The ripple effect from this is that many illnesses arise during this time. In some cases, these foreign illnesses are fatal, and the people have come to know this as their reality.
The collective hope we share with the Elders and the entire village is to install a solar panel water system, which will benefit the entire community. This means that the people of Paoyhan will not only have clean water but unlimited access to water, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Our goal is to raise $18,300 USD by July 21 2019. Once the system is in place it will operate with no extra costs or expenses. The system will pump from the same water supply using solar energy. It will be secure from contaminated flooding and the diseases this usually brings. It will be a valuable support to the medical center because it will mean that they will also have access to clean water to treat patients.
