The community does not have a drinking water service. It is currently supplied by a well with community manual pumping equipment, forcing all the neighbors to store water inside the house, causing water-borne diseases due to the unhealthy conditions in which they do so, which affects the majority of the inhabitants. Health, both individual and collective, is the result of the complex interactions between the biological, ecological, cultural, economic and social processes that occur in society. It is the product of the interrelations established between man and the social and natural environment in which he lives. In addition, health depends on the natural conditions where society develops, the climate, the soil, the location and the geographical characteristics and the available natural resources. For this reason, the inhabitants have prioritized the management of the drinking water system before the authorities of the Olanchito Rotary Club.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
