operation safe drinking water



Operation Safe Drinking Water is a non-profit organization based in Bocas del Toro, Panama, working to provide access to safe drinking water throughout the archipelago where traditionally indigenous families have been forced to drink contaminated water.

We install rain catchment systems to provide safe drinking water for indigenous schools and villages suffering the effects of disease-bearing water.  Why should children suffer and die from bad water where it rains a lot?
