We left Chibunga after installing water filters in 7 schools, 1 health care center and 2 community centers providing clean water to Chibunga's population.

Yaritza was born almost a month after the earthquake. We delivered water filters at Chibunga's health center that will cover the needs of the more than 250 people that go there daily to receive medical attention. Special thanks to Dr. Martin Riera and all the staff that helped us make this happen.

We are in Chibunga, Manabí. A town located 44 Km from the epicenter of the earthquake that hit Ecuador almost 2 months ago. Chibunga has been home of hundreds of families that lost all their possessions. Now all the kids that lost their houses in Pedernales study and live in Chibunga along with the kids who already lived here until they can build their houses again. We installed water filters in both the town's middle school and high school.

We visited Tarqui, Manta. One of the most affect cities by the earthquake. Here we met with Alfonso and Tato, community leaders who are in charge of two shelters organized by neighbors without any governmental help or guidance. They look help and look after each other, and share what they have with their neighbors. We were able to provide the whole shelter with enough filters for the 93 families that sleep and live there.

This is Jesus Cedeño and behind him you can see what's left of his house after the big earthquake in Ecuador.
Pure Drift is helping people like Jesus who lost everything they owned by providing them something as basic as water, which is not easy to access at this moment.

We teamed up with our brothers from Zona Noяte LBDM and packed 3 cars and 1 truck full of food, water, medicine and clothes. We were also able to distribute water filters in Rocafuerte and Canoa, Manabí and are currently waiting for another shipment to deliver more water filters in the next few days.
Thanks to everyone who donated and made this possible. We have more help on the way.

It has been a very sad couple of days for the Ecuadorian people and us. We have traveled this country for the last 2 months and seen the beauty of its land and the kindness of its people. Beaches that 3 days ago were paradise have now been reduced to ruins. Water and communication are the 2 biggest problems for most of the small towns. We will be traveling north to deliver water filters and more help, in the next few days another shipment of filters will arrive.
Please donate by going to www.PureDrift.org/donate or any other institution out there helping, Ecuador needs you.
