Aqualia End-to-End Management partici-
pates in the project “Improve and increase
potable water and sanitation coverage by
strengthening local capabilities for mana-
gement of basic services in Las Sabanas,
Madriz Department” in Nicaragua.
The project aims to improve the quality of
life and health of the families in the rural
area in a sustainable manner and over the
long term. These conditions are negatively
affected by the deficient coverage of basic
water and sanitation services.
Involvement in this project is the result of
the collaboration with the Acción Contra
el Hambre (Action against hunger) chari-
ty through the “hazqueseoiga” campaign
launched by Aqualia coinciding with the ce-
lebration of the World Water Day. The pro-
ject aims to build awareness of the situation
affecting 1.4 billion people who lack access
to water and also to raise funds for Acción
contra el Hambre to be used in several pro-
jects underway.
The results will make it possible for appro-
ximately 5000 people in Madriz (Nicaragua)
to have drinking water. So far, 15,000 Euros

were collected which will be earmarked to
bring water to the population of this Central
American country.
The project will mean that the basic require-
ments for drinking water and sanitation will
be covered by upgrading the three water
supply networks and the construction of
305 waste water treatment family systems
in the most vulnerable communities in Las
Sabanas.
Support will also be provided to bolster the
municipality’s capabilities by providing equi-
pment and technical training to the Project
Units of the local government, especially
