The Peruvian Amazon Indigenous Support Network has completed another clean water well in Roya, a remote Shipibo community, with the help of local well drillers from Living Water. Thank you to our donors and local partners who have helped get this community clean drinking water!

Unfortunately the rivers nearby are no longer clean because of oil contamination and other upstream pollutants.

Drilling the well. They have to dig deep to reach the clean water aquifers.
Finishing the well pad. Making sure the well is a closed system is important to not allow outside contaminants to enter the system.
