Water Solutions

Through the years, BCM has partnered with Shoes & Hope, HydroMissions, Solea Water, New Life International, and Plenty International to address the water crisis in southern Belize.

In 2015, our Water Solutions Program provided Sawyer bucket filters for families in three communities and LifeStraw community filters for two schools.

In January 2018, we completed the construction of four spring boxes, complete with pipes, reaching over one hundred homes in Dolores. Until then, the entire community had no water source for several weeks during the dry season each year.

In 2019, the community of San Lucas helped with the installation of a 2,000-gallon capacity, river-sourced, solar-powered water purification system.

Our partnership with Plenty International Belize enabled us to provide solar water pumping, pipes, a tank, and a concrete block tank stand for Machakil Ha in 2022. Now the community has access to water even during the dry season. Three indigenous women, trained as solar engineers install and maintain solar power in rural communities.
