- Ongoing maintenance and distribution of water filtration systems for communities without chlorinated cisterns
- Ongoing provision of medications, vaginal speculums and antihelminthics (deworming) for the La Hicaca Centro de Salud (Health Centre) to maintain a supply for one year
- Ongoing collaboration with the Ministry of Health for education projects on nutrition and hygiene
