This project has been very successful; however, much more needs to be done.
Water is a limiting factor in any desert setting and is a crucial resource that will allow us to meet our environmental and social objectives.
We have secured a reliable source of native trees to be planted throughout the area; however, without water, survival of the trees will likely be low.
Similarly, the Wayuu settlements do not have dependable access to water. Water trucks sometimes come into some settlements to fill tanks, but the water is quickly exhausted because access is unregulated. Some settlements are so isolated that access to them is impossible and families must travel long distances by foot to collect water.
