Project Hearts hosted one of their five-week interactive workshop series on Water Access, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) for students in Los Ciruelos, Baitoa, Dominican Republic. A vital aspect of their work is educating the public about the importance of WASH subjects for improving health and quality of life. This workshop emphasized how littering (a major problem in Baitoa) negatively impacts valuable local water sources and how recycling can contribute to preserving their environment and enhancing their quality of life.
Recently, Project Hearts returned to a school where a workshop was previously held and were pleasantly surprised to see new recycling bins in the classrooms and on campus. A school administrator explained that because of the WASH Workshop they realized they should do their part to take care of the environment and ensure that water sources stay uncontaminated by litter and waste.
GRACE Cares is proud to partner with organizations like Project Hearts to not only give marginalized communities access to water filters and tanks but also to provide the knowledge necessary to live in harmony with nature and themselves.
