Project Overview
Jiniapa community is located in Francisco Morazan, Cedros which is in the center of Honduras. People in the community frequently suffer from the flu, asthma, and diarrheal disease, most of which result from a lack of adequate hygiene and sanitation infrastructure. Many of these health issues arise from a lack of proper water and hygiene infrastructure, sanitation practices, healthcare, and education resources.
Jiniapa, Honduras
At the time of Global Brigades’ initial visit, Jiniapa did not have a formal water system and depended entirely on a public hand well, which was insufficient to meet the needs of the population. This limited access to water posed potential health risks for residents. Despite these challenges, the community showed a strong commitment to improving its water conditions, leading to a productive and meaningful partnership with Global Brigades.
The community did not have a complete water system; however, a well was in the process of being drilled as the first step toward the future construction of a comprehensive water system for the community, then the water system was constructed with the support of Global Brigades
Water System Solution
Global Brigades constructed a water storage tank at a newly designated site within the community as part of an effort to strengthen and optimize the local water distribution system. This infrastructure improvement was designed to enhance storage capacity and promote equitable access to water for all households, directly benefiting 225 community members. In addition, the project included significant upgrades to the distribution network through the installation of 4.00 kilometers of appropriate piping, which allowed the system to achieve optimal pressure and ensure consistent water delivery to every household without the need for sectorization.
The enhanced water system was completed in December 2025 and represents a meaningful improvement in the community’s access to safe and reliable water.
