Abstract: 

To collaborate in the optimal potable water supply for the rural community of Picada Zulma and the educative community of the School Nro.374 in particular, through a perforation in the land pertaining to the school.
It is indispensable to count on a perforated well and one electric pump submersible, to cover the basic needs on water resources (consumption, hygiene, preparation of meals for the dining room, etc.) of the school community and the families who live near the institution.
These families lack their own water wells. In this area the lack of potable water creates a situation of risk for the population. The School has been built up by the inhabitants of the community using wood, plates and zinc and counts on a precarious water well, which is frequently dry.

The community is integrated by 25 families, who carry out sporadic works for the tobacco recollection and live in a precarious situation.
