This is the second water project the Peru Fund will be supporting in 2024. The village of Shahuaya is located on the Ucayali River in the Peruvian rainforest five hours north of the Amazon city of Atalaya. The construction of the water project in this community began in the fall of 2023 and is progressing well. As of April 2024, the water tower was 75% completed. Following that, an approximately 150-foot-deep well will be drilled. The water will be pumped from the well to the water tower by means of a solar pump. From there the water will be gravity-fed to the individual homes and the school. The project is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2024.
