The most important life sustaining element that every person requires is access to clean water. Brother’s Brother Foundation is furthering our commitment to sustainable development through our Infrastructure program WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene). This program aims to reduce the risk of water-borne illness and the spread of illness while increasing access to clean water and hygiene education.

Water and sanitation projects continued in Honduras, Liberia, and Guatemala, as did our partnership with Pittsburgh-based non-profit Casa San Jose. Casa San Jose sews washable feminine hygiene pads for school-age girls in developing countries. Eventually, Casa San Jose plans to create jobs abroad by hiring women in these regions to sew the pads. In 2022, BBF installed modern bathroom facilities, equipped with running water at the Monja Blanca School in Chisec, Guatemala. The project included a handwashing station and water collection and storage tanks.
