Over the past two months, VAVV’s active projects have seen so much progress towards bringing sustainable, clean-water solutions to new communities in Piura, Peru! Read about the Planning & Engineering team’s design process, and what we’ll produce once it’s finished.

This past March was a very special month for Vera Aqua Vera Vita; for the first time since 2019, VAVV got to send a team of missionaries from DFW into the rural communities of Piura, Peru to bring True Water True Life through service, education and camaraderie! See what progress having so many boots on the ground has made by reading this Project Status Update.

Last month in Peru, Vera Aqua Vera Vita made significant developments on our two active projects; not only have we reached completion on the necessary environmental studies, but we’ve also solidified partial funding for our projects in partnership with the Piura Regional Government. We’ve also taken steps so that when our Missionaries arrive on ground next week, they’ll have everything they need to break ground on construction! Get the full scoop here.

Vera Aqua Vera Vita is excited to share that we’re getting closer and closer to being fully equipped to break ground on construction in mid to late March. This past month of January consisted of crucial steps that are necessary to advance the projects.

As Vera Aqua Vera Vita closed out the year of 2021, our projects in Piura have seen an important shift in development! The year of 2021 saw so much project progress, but we know that 2022 can only hold greater things for the holistic health of the people of Piura!

This month, for the first time in our organization’s history, we got to send Ricardo Arbulu, VAVV’s Director of Projects and Programs, to our active projects in Piura, Peru! The only way to provide a successful, sustainable solution is by building up strong relationships with the communities we serve. Learn how Ricardo did just that!

Vera Aqua Vera Vita has been hard at work throughout the end of September and October. Though we’re still over 5 months away from starting construction, logistics are well underway for project solutions for both Cerro de Leones and Las Mercedes KM11!

As the engineering team working non-stop to get everything in order to break ground on construction in early 2022, the two Piura projects have seen a lot of progress since our last update. With geophysical assessments having been completed and topographic evaluations underway, we hope the upcoming weeks hold even more progress and development!

With more than half of 2021 under the belt, Vera Aqua Vera Vita (VAVV) has some exciting developments to report on the two communities in Piura where Water and Sanitation Hygiene (W.A.S.H.) planning and engineering commenced in June!

Throughout the month of July, VAVV has been coordinating with and contracting consultants to help with the preliminary solution plan for both Cerro de Leones and La Mercedes KM11 and has made significant progress!

From the beginning, VAVV has strived to leverage partners throughout the private & public sector to build our capacity as an organization, improve our designs, tell our story, improve our operations, and provide critical expertise on topics such as strategic planning, fundraising, and project & program delivery. Earlier this year, we were able to do just that by enaging a new partner from the world of data analytics and visualization by the name of Viz for Social Good, an organization that brings together skilled volunteers in the data viz community to visualize impact and tell stories for nonprofits using data.

VAVV is proud to announce the commencement of planning and engineering for both Cerro de Leones and Las Mercedes! We’re excited to bring sustainable solutions to these two communities, working closely with local government agencies, contractors/consultants, and individuals to empower the people to become owners of the solutions for their own community.

Today, Nov. 3, 2020 marks the exciting commencement of Vera Aqua Vera Vita’s (VAVV) efforts to officially begin serving seven new communities in the Piura Region of Peru. The assessment phase of the project implementation process gets underway today.

After great success serving the community of Monte Castillo with the installation of a water treatment facility among other sustainable W.A.S.H. initiatives, VAVV now lends a much-needed hand to seven new communities within the Piura Region.

Developing partnerships with local resources is part of making things work within the nonprofit sector, where groups and individuals share their skills and knowledge to enhance projects and help each other meet specific goals. These partnerships are also beneficial to lessen the high cost of contracting specialized consultants.
